This study aims to analyze the influence of effective communication on the emotional intelligence of early childhood. Effective communication is the process of conveying clear, empathetic, and responsive messages between educators or parents and children, which plays a crucial role in shaping children's abilities to recognize, understand, and manage emotions. Emotional intelligence is an essential aspect of child development because it supports social adaptation, self-regulation, and positive interpersonal relationships. The research method used was a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects were early childhood education institutions attending early childhood education institutions, with data collection techniques through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Data were analyzed using statistical procedures to determine the relationship between the variables studied. The results showed a significant influence between effective communication and children's emotional intelligence. Children who receive good communication tend to have higher empathy skills, are able to control their emotions, and establish positive social relationships. In addition, effective communication helps children express their feelings appropriately and develop self-confidence. Thus, effective communication is an important factor in the development of emotional intelligence in early childhood. This research is expected to serve as a reference for educators and parents in improving the quality of interactions with children and supporting optimal child development.

Background: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) remain global health issues, including in Indonesia. One of the management strategies is antiretroviral therapy (ART), which requires a high level of adherence to be effective. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of reminders on adherence to ARV treatment among people living with HIV (PLHIV) at the Tembuku I Community Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 30 PLWHA selected using total sampling, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Univariate analysis revealed that the average age of respondents was 35 years; the majority were female, had a high school education, and worked as homemakers and farmers. Bivariate analysis revealed that prior to the intervention, the majority of PLWHA (70%) had low adherence levels, whereas after the intervention, adherence levels increased to 100%. Statistical test results showed a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of social media-based reminders on improving ARV adherence in the Tembuku I Community Health Center area. Conclusion: The use of social media-based reminders is effective in improving adherence to ARV treatment among people living with HIV. This intervention can be recommended as a simple and practical strategy to support the success of ARV therapy in primary health care settings.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (msmes) play an important role in supporting regional economic growth.

Although cryptographic security is often the main concern in e-voting system development, practical implementation failures are frequently associated with poor user interfaces that increase cognitive load and voting errors. This study evaluates the effectiveness of User-Centered Design (UCD) interventions in improving usability and voter confidence in an e-voting system. A one-group pretest-posttest design was applied to 36 respondents representing novice voters. Usability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS) before and after the interface redesign. The intervention focused on visual hierarchy, navigation consistency, status visibility, and error prevention. The results show a statistically significant improvement, with the mean SUS score increasing from 69.10 in the marginal category to 95.76 in the excellent category. The paired sample t-test produced t(35) = -7.3441 with p < 0.0001, while Cohen's d reached 1.2130, indicating a large practical effect. The standard deviation also decreased from 21.98 to 3.09, demonstrating a more consistent user experience. These findings indicate that interface optimization is essential for strengthening accessibility, voting accuracy, and user trust in digital democracy systems.

This study examines the effectiveness of Assemblr Augmented Reality (AR) in improving English vocabulary mastery among deaf students in an inclusive classroom setting. The research was conducted at SD N 2 Bengkala using a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The participants were Grade 5 deaf students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed vocabulary test consisting of 15 items, which was validated through expert judgment and demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.815). Descriptive statistical analysis revealed a substantial improvement in students’ vocabulary scores, with the mean increasing from 45.00 in the pre-test to 76.50 in the post-test. The minimum score improved from 40 to 73, and the maximum score increased from 50 to 80. Inferential analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a significance value of 0.180, indicating no statistical significance due to the small sample size. However, the observed improvement indicates strong practical significance. The findings suggest that Assemblr AR enhances vocabulary learning by providing visual and interactive learning experiences that support deaf students’ cognitive processing. This study highlights the potential of AR technology as an effective instructional medium in inclusive education environments.  

This article examines needs analysis and curriculum analysis as the foundational bases for developing effective teaching materials. Using a library research method, this study reviews various scientific journal articles, reference books, and relevant official documents. Needs analysis is a systematic process conducted to identify the gap between students' current conditions and the competencies they are expected to achieve, serving as the most critical stage in determining the direction of teaching material development. Meanwhile, curriculum analysis is carried out to ensure that the teaching materials developed remain aligned with competency standards, learning outcomes, content structure, and applicable educational policies. The integration of both analyses produces teaching materials that are not only contextually relevant to students' real conditions but also consistent with curriculum demands. Systematic steps in this integration including learner characteristic analysis, curriculum document review, material priority mapping, and authentic assessment design significantly contribute to improving the quality, effectiveness, and meaningfulness of learning. This article concludes that needs analysis and curriculum analysis are inseparable and must be conducted systematically before the development of teaching materials begins.
