This study explores the implementation of Computational Thinking (CT) in physics learning to enhance students' analytical and logical reasoning. Using an experimental approach with a problem-solving model, the research involved students enrolled in physics courses, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group engaged in simulation-based and algorithmic problem-solving tasks, while the control group received conventional instruction. The research focused on assessing improvements in logical reasoning through pre- and post-tests. Data analysis was conducted quantitatively, comparing the pre-test and post-test results of both groups. Findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significant 31% improvement in logical reasoning skills, while the control group demonstrated a modest 5.8% improvement. This indicates that CT-based activities, such as simulations and algorithmic tasks, are more effective in enhancing students' analytical and problem-solving abilities compared to traditional methods. The study highlights the importance of integrating CT into physics education, as it promotes deeper cognitive engagement, critical thinking, and practical problem-solving skills. These findings suggest that CT strategies can be a powerful tool in improving students' reasoning abilities and better preparing them for complex scientific and real-world challenges.

The impact of the landslide is very worrying for the entire community and the congregation of Dock Seven because the land has experienced very large erosion and splits from the edge of the river to the wall of the church building which can result in the collapse of the building wall and church tower. For this reason, fast handling is needed to anticipate a greater impact by making gabions reinforced with ironwood as retaining pillars, accompanied by material compaction and re-casting. The purpose of this community service activity is to minimize losses and damage due to landslides, and to restore the function of the road access as a means of community activities every day. The construction of this landslide handling is made simple, namely by installing ironwood pillars along the landslide area starting from the boundary of the church building wall to the edge of the river flow, then placing gabions filled with gravel material from the bottom of the landslide hole to near the ground surface, then filled with coral material and re-cast as road access. For the river bank wall, it is done by casting and installing embankments until it passes the road surface so that the river water does not overflow onto the road when the rainfall is quite high. The gabion used is a type of thick wire measuring 2 m x 1 m x 1 m with a side wire diameter of 3.4 mm, a braided wire diameter of 2.7 mm, a hole/mesh size of 8 cm x 10 cm, a number of turns of 3 and a weight/sheet of 18 Kg. The ironwood used as a support is 5 cm x 5 cm in size. The embankment material uses coral rock, while the casting of the river bank embankment uses a 12 mm iron frame combined with 5 cm x 5 cm ironwood. The height of the embankment from the bottom of the river to the road surface is 3.80 meters where the height from the bottom to the river to the road surface is 3 meters and from the top of the road surface is 80 cm. With the implementation of this landslide handling construction, the entire community and the congregation of Dock Seven can use the road access again for daily needs.

The orientation of educational institutions is busy with exam scores, and academic grades are the main prerequisites for graduation. As a result, the product produced by students is how high the report card score is and discredits the values of character, life and morality. This causes students to lose focus on character education. For this reason, teachers as the main milestone in learning in the classroom are required to create a learning atmosphere with character based on DOOR (Diversity, Optimism, Option for The Poor, Respect). This is because the character based on DOOR is a guideline in the ministry at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The objectives of the study are: (1) To describe the management model of character education training based on DOOR; (2) Determine the feasibility of the character education training management model based on DOOR; and (3) Determine the effectiveness of the implementation of character education training management based on DOOR at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The research uses a research and development approach to develop a model to improve teacher performance at the Betlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The research sample is 59 teachers at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The results of the study show: (1) The training model developed is feasible to be used in an effort to improve the performance of teachers of the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation, through the following stages: planning, organizing, moving, and supervising; (2) The training model is effectively used to improve the performance of teachers of the Betlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. There was an increase in teacher performance in the following aspects: learning planning by 42.05%; the implementation of learning is 29.74%; and assessed learning outcomes by 59.49%; and (3) a character training model developed practically for improving teacher performance at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation, obtained N-Gain Score g = 0.76 > 0.7 (small group trial) and g = 0.79 > 0.7 (limited wide trial); The resulting products were 76.40% (small group trials) and 79.08% (limited wide trials) with the effective category. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that the improvement of teacher performance at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation must be carried out with integrated planning, organization, implementation and supervision between the Archdiocesan Foundation, the Foundation's internal supervisors, principals, and teachers.  

This study investigates the interplay between linguistic relativity and cultural schemata, examining how language encodes culturally salient concepts and shapes cognitive frameworks across diverse communities. Through ethnographic and psycholinguistic approaches, the study collects data from 12 different language communities with varied cultural backgrounds. Cross-linguistic and cross-cultural analyses reveal significant correlations between linguistic structures—such as grammatical categories, lexical distinctions, and metaphorical expressions—and culturally specific schemata in spatial, temporal, and social domains. Perception and cognitive reasoning experiments were conducted with 450 participants to test linguistic relativity hypotheses in cultural contexts. Quantitative and qualitative findings demonstrate that linguistic patterns both reflect and reinforce cultural norms, influencing perception and cognitive strategies. Analysis of cultural text corpora shows how linguistic categories serve as vehicles for internalizing cultural values and worldviews. Specifically, the study finds systematic variations in spatial information processing, time conceptualization, and social event interpretation that correlate with language features of respective communities. These results underscore the co-constitutive relationship between language and culture in shaping human thought, providing important implications for cross-cultural education, intercultural communication, and cognitive theory.

This ponder analyzes the impact of execution estimation framework on work inspiration and representative efficiency at the Staff of Military Coordinations, Indonesia Defense College, and tests the intervening part of work inspiration. The inquire about strategy employments a quantitative approach with a study of 125 respondents (teachers, scholastic staff, and bolster staff). Information were analyzed utilizing SEM. The comes about appeared that the execution estimation framework incorporates a positive and noteworthy impact on work inspiration (β = 0.52, p < 0.001), and work inspiration encompasses a positive impact on representative efficiency (β = 0.64, p < 0.001). Work inspiration moreover altogether intercedes the relationship between execution estimation framework and worker efficiency (β = 0.33, p < 0.01). This finding bolsters Self-Determination hypothesis which emphasizes the significance of satisfying mental must  increment natural inspiration. Show approval through the goodness-of-fit test appeared a great fit with the observational information (Chi-Square/df = 2.15, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.93). For all intents and purposes, this ponder suggests an moved forward execution estimation framework that's  more transparent and reasonable to extend worker inspiration and efficiency. The investigate suggestions give hypothetical and commonsense commitments to the advancement of execution administration within the military and comparative organizations.

In the last ten years, Indonesia has been carrying out massive infrastructure development. The goal is to facilitate community mobility which has an impact on economic growth. Infrastructure development also aims to increase the Human Development Index even though it does not directly affect it. One of the provinces that contributed to infrastructure development was East Java, with the Human Development Index during the 2018-2022 period increasing and tending to stagnate. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to identify the influence of infrastructure development on the Human Development Index, including identifying the influence of poverty on the Human Development Index. The research methodology used is quantitative with  a Geographically Weighted Panel Regression (GWPR) approach that allows to comprehensively identify the Regional Development Index in East Java. The results obtained were that the variables of Infrastructure Development with the dimensions of Road Length (6,172) and Number of Schools (2,686) had an impact on the Human Development Index in East Java. Meanwhile, the poverty variable (-6,139) has no effect on the Human Development Index (HDI). However, simultaneously the variables of Infrastructure Development and Poverty affect the National Development Index (HDI) with a calculation of 64.42 > 2.4202.

According to the anthropometric standards for evaluating children's nutritional status, stunting is a growth failure condition based on the weight-for-age (W/A) or height-for-age (H/A) index, where the measurement results fall within the threshold (Z-Score) of -2 SD to -3 SD (short/stunted) and -3 SD (very short/severely stunted). In 2023, 27.3% of the toddlers in Penfui Timur Village were still stunted. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how stunting reduction policies are being implemented in Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Regency. This research used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques of in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The informants in this study is 8 informants, consisting of 2 main informants and 6 supporting informants. The main informants are the head of the Penfui Timur village and the nutrition staff of the Tarus Health Center. The supporting informants are 2 posyandu cadres, mothers of stunted toddlers, pregnant women, village residents, and teenage girls.The data analysis process in this research begins by collecting data from interviews and then reducing the resulting data. After that, the data is presented and concluded. The study's result showed that although the policy has been applied effectively, it still falls short of the implementation theory's requirements. The implementers' low educational and human resource levels, the ignorance of expectant mothers and parents of children with stunted growth, and the lack of facilities and infrastructure are the contributing reasons. Although the village government's communication component with other implementing parties has been functioning smoothly, communication with the leaders of the target community has not been at its best. The policy implementers are already familiar with the methods and duties associated with their respective areas of responsibility. The bureaucratic structure's policy implementers are already familiar with the technical facets of reducing stunting. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to increasing the knowledge involved in  implementation policy for stunting reduction

Speaking anxiety among students is a common phenomenon that affects their academic performance and personal development. This study aims to explore the reasons behind students' fear of speaking in various educational settings. Using a literature review method, this research examines previous studies related to psychological, social, and educational factors contributing to students’ reluctance to speak. The findings indicate that speaking anxiety is primarily caused by fear of making mistakes, low self-confidence, and negative social evaluations from peers or teachers. Additionally, classroom environment, teaching methods, and cultural influences also play a significant role in shaping students' willingness to speak. The impact of this fear extends beyond academic performance, affecting students' participation, self-expression, and future communication skills. Several strategies have been identified to reduce speaking anxiety, including fostering a supportive learning environment, encouraging positive reinforcement, and implementing interactive teaching methods. Educators are encouraged to create a more inclusive atmosphere that minimizes students' fear of judgment and enhances their confidence in speaking. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on students' speaking anxiety by summarizing key factors and offering practical implications for teachers, educators, and policymakers. Future research could further explore intervention programs that effectively address students' fear of speaking in different cultural and educational contexts.  

This study aims to conduct an analysis of the factors that form the basis for all Indonesian people who have just participated in the general election in Leuwiliang District in 2024. A total of 10,344 people in Leuwiliang District are people who have just held general elections and have used their voting rights for the first time in 2024 from a total of 11,959 people on the Permanent Voters List (DPT). Based on these data, there are still 1,615 people who are voting for the first time in Leuwiliang District who did not come to the Polling Station (TPS) to exercise their right to vote, which is certainly influenced by several factors or certain reasons, such as not knowing the candidates who will be elected in executive and legislative positions and the entire vision and mission of each candidate. The method in this study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques, namely interviews and document studies. The results of this study are that 64% of new voters who came to the polling stations to 'vote' chose based on the social approach model and 35% based on the rational approach model.

Indonesia is a tropical country which of course cannot avoid the occurrence of dengue fever. engue fever is still one of the serious diseases faced in Indonesia. The results of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2022, the number of dengue cases reached 131.265. Prevention and eradication measures are more effective by eradicating mosquito larvae with PSN. PSN efforts require cooperation between the government and community participation. The role of eradicating mosquito nests must always be increased, includes draining water reservoirs, tightly closing water reservoirs, reusing used goods that can hold water and have the potential to become breeding grounds for mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever. In general, most residents use water reservoirs and there are piles of rubbish around the house and there are still puddles and water reservoirs. For this reason, there needs to be education for the community about eradicating mosquito nests, one of which is by utilizing used goods so that they do not become a place for the shelter and development of mosquito larvae that cause dengue fever. The method used in this community service is by providing education and counseling to the community regarding explanations regarding waste management, sorting, benefits and recycling of waste. The implementation of this PkM activity went well and smoothly. The community was enthusiastic in participating in this activity. There was an increase in public knowledge and understanding during the discussion session of the activity. It is hoped that the community can manage waste properly and correctly to avoid various diseases, especially Dengue Fever (DBD).

Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Principles Article 5 states that customary law in the context of land sale and purchase adheres to the principles of clarity and cash payment. Therefore, the drafting of a land sale and purchase deed is not mandatory to require full payment as long as both parties agree. However, this often leads to legal issues later, including cases where the seller commits a breach of contract (default). For this reason, the author conducted this study with the following research questions: 1. What are the legal consequences of the sale and purchase deed concerning default in land sale and purchase transactions carried out by the buyer? 2. How is the legal protection for the seller in the event of a default in a land sale and purchase transaction? The theories used to address these research questions are, first, the theory of agreements, and second, the theory of legal protection. This study employs normative legal research. The research approaches used include a legislative approach and a case approach. The legal material collection technique involves identifying and inventorying positive legal regulations, books, journals, and other legal material sources. Legal material analysis techniques are conducted through grammatical interpretation and legal construction methods. The research findings indicate that land sale and purchase transactions under the principles of clarity and cash payment allow for the drafting of sale and purchase deeds even though the transaction has not been fully paid by the buyer. This creates an opportunity for the seller to commit a breach of contract in such transactions, revealing a lack of preventive legal protection for the buyer. The legal consequence of the sale and purchase deed is that it lacks legal force if it can be proven that a breach of contract occurred during its drafting.

Nigeria's economy has been severely stagnant since the 1980s. Afrocentric literature charts the nation's history, whereas Eurocentric literature identifies the Nigerian civil war and the corrupt practices of its leaders as the primary cause economic hardships to her historical colonial dominance and economic exploitation activities. However, none of the aforementioned reasons provide stronger support for being the cause of the nation's economic dysfunction, particularly when contrasted with IMF measures implemented there. The IMF's policies on Nigeria's Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) and its Loan Conditionality are partially shown in this article to be "the crux impediment facing the country." As a result, the paper makes the case that, among other mismanagement policies, General Ibrahim Babangida's acceptance of IMF loans contributed to the nation's economic problems and backwardness. Using primary and secondary sources, the study makes the argument that its riches would be restored by a more inclusive economic system free of the current extractive economic practices.

The low reasoning ability of students in processing information has an impact on learning outcomes and creative thinking skills. So it is necessary to develop a valid, practical, and effective learning model to improve students' creative thinking skills. The research method used was the Borg and Gall model which was modified into 8 stages. This research was tested on fourth grade students of SD Negeri Kalisalam 2. Data collection used questionnaires for student expert validators, and teachers, non-test assessments to measure students' creative thinking skills, and interviews. This research evaluates the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed learning model. The results of expert validation showed that the model and learning materials were very valid with an average score of 90.16%. In detail, the learning model validator gave a score of 93.66%, while the material expert gave a score of 86.66%. The practicality assessment before and after the trial was 84% and 80% respectively, both in the “practical” category. The effectiveness of the model was measured through student questionnaires with an average of 79% (“effective”) and non-test assessment of creative thinking skills, where 16 out of 23 students showed improvement after the application of the learning model. This guidebook/prototype of inquiry-based learning model development with scaffolding techniques is considered effective for improving students' creative thinking skills, besides that this model can also help teachers in encouraging innovation in classroom learning to be more interesting.

This research discusses the problem where in a trial facts that cannot be taken into consideration by the panel of judges in deciding a civil case in decision Number 28/Pdt.G/2022/ PN Wates. The research was conducted to find out the reasons why the judge did not consider the evidence that had been submitted by the parties. The normative juridical research method with a conceptual approach and case approach was used to analyze the decision Number 28/Pdt.G/2022/ PN Wates as the primary data of the research and secondary data through literature study and for the process of analyzing data based on qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the evidence submitted by the litigants in the decision was not considered by the judge because the strength of the evidence was weak. In article 1866 of the Civil Code, evidence that can be submitted to strengthen the arguments in the lawsuit is in the form of written evidence and witness evidence. This study also states that there is a judex factie where the judge examines the facts of the trial, so that the judge can consider it in the decision. Based on this analysis, the judge has responsibility for all evidence submitted by the plaintiff to be considered in making a decision. Evidence is so important in civil trials, because it can affect the judge's confidence in making a consideration to decide a case.

Learning dance for deaf children faces unique challenges due to their hearing limitations in understanding rhythm and movement. To overcome this, an exploration-based approach and direct experience are needed. This study aims to analyze the implementation of dance learning for deaf children using the Project Based Learning model at SLB Negeri Tamansari, Tasikmalaya City to improve understanding of dance concepts, movement understanding, rhythm coordination, teamwork, and responses to learning using a scientific approach with five main steps, namely observing, asking, reasoning, trying, communicating. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The subjects of the study were deaf students who took part in dance learning, from movement exploration to the final performance. This model allows them to learn actively, build understanding through direct practice, and develop creativity in performing dance. The results of the study showed that the implementation of Project Based Learning succeeded in improving the dance skills of deaf students. The use of hand clapping instructions and teacher types made it easier to understand rhythm. Repeated practice helps them adjust their movements to the tempo, while the performance increases their confidence and expression.
