This final report aims to design a website-based electronic archiving system using PHP and MyAdmin. The data collection method used by the author in this research is the field research method through interviews, observation, library research, and descriptive qualitative data analysis techniques using the waterfall method, namely the Development Life Cycle (SDLC) system, which is used to develop information systems in the website creation process. This method uses a systematic and gradual approach. This electronic filing system can help companies overcome various obstacles when recording and rediscovering documents. Automating processes in the system in systematic recording and storage can save time and help provide information quickly so that the administrative process is smooth. Reduces the use of paper (less paper) because documents are stored in digital format, so documents will not pile up and can reduce the use of archive storage space. In electronic archiving, there is no longer a need to manually record the agenda for incoming and outgoing letters, because when recording transactions, incoming or outgoing letters will be automatically recorded on the agenda for incoming or outgoing letters. For the system to continue running optimally, it is recommended that companies carry out employee training, routine system maintenance, continuous development, implementation of information security policies, and regular system performance monitoring.  Implementing these recommendations is expected to increase operational efficiency and accessibility of company information

Online gambling has become a rapidly growing social issue supported by advancements in digital technology, particularly in Indonesia, with its large population of internet users. Despite being legally prohibited, its popularity continues to rise, creating challenges for law enforcement and significant socio-economic impacts. This study aims to analyze the social and economic dynamics of online gambling actors using a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic coding techniques. The findings reveal that actors, such as Koh Jimmy, learn deviant behaviors through exclusive online communities that provide operational techniques and moral justification. Economic motivation, social support, and gambling systems designed to induce addiction are key drivers of actor involvement. Although aware of legal risks, actors remain engaged due to community influence and substantial financial gains. This study underscores the relevance of differential association theory in explaining actor involvement in online gambling and provides recommendations for preventive policies through technological oversight, social education, and the strengthening of social norms. The results are expected to serve as a foundation for formulating more effective preventive and intervention measures.  

This qualitative literature review explores the governance role of incubators in entrepreneurial development, focusing on the balance between consultation and control. Incubators provide strategic guidance, resources, and networks, fostering innovation and strategic planning. Simultaneously, they exercise control by setting performance targets, tracking progress, and enforcing organizational structures, ensuring discipline and focus among entrepreneurs. The review highlights the complementary nature of these dual roles, which are essential for enabling start-ups to leverage both strategic guidance and operational discipline, contributing to their long-term success and sustainability. However, the study acknowledges limitations, including the need for empirical research and the exploration of additional governance dimensions. Further investigation is required to address these gaps and enhance our understanding of effective incubator governance.

Physical education is something that cannot be separated from education in general because physical education fulfills all the goals and functions of education through the development of three aspects, namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor of the students. Based on observations by the researcher, particularly in the 11th grade, many students still lack understanding and ability in demonstrating the basic movement of kicking a ball with the back of the foot in soccer. The hypothesis in this research is "The Self Check Style teaching method has an influence on improving the basic movement learning outcomes of kicking a ball with the back of the foot in soccer among the 11th-grade students of SMK Negeri 1 Tomohon.". The operational objective of this research is to compare whether the average score of basic movement learning in kicking with the back of the foot among students who are given treatment with the Self Check Style teaching method is higher than the average score of basic movement learning in kicking with the back of the foot in football among students who are not given the Self Check Style teaching method. This research uses the experimental method. The population consists of 194 students from the XI grade of SMK NEGERI 1 TOMOHON. And the sample consists of 40 students. The instrument of this research is a basic movement ability test for kicking with the back of the foot in soccer. The result of the hypothesis testing obtained a t-value of 9.2857. Based on the t-distribution table at ∝0.05 with degrees of freedom n1+n2-2 = 20+20-2= 38, the t-table value is obtained as 2.024. so the calculated t is greater than the table t (calculated t > table t). Based on the testing criteria, if the calculated t-value is greater than the table t-value, then the null hypothesis (HO) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (HA) is accepted. The conclusion of this study is that the Self Check style of teaching has a significant impact on the improvement of basic movement learning in kicking a ball with the back of the foot in soccer among the 11th-grade students of SMK NEGERI 1 TOMOHON.
