This article aims to analyze Sie Hian Ling's Hikajat Njonja Kam Giok Nio (1925) through Judith Butler's theory of gender performivity in order to uncover the mechanism of gender regulation in the colonial context of the Dutch East Indies. The narrative tells the social destruction of Njonja Kam Giok Nio, the wife of a Chinese Luitenant in Tjibingin, who loses her status, family, and dignity due to her involvement with Stamboel comedy actor Siek Ting San. The analysis shows that text functions as a discursive regulatory apparatus that constructs gender as a performance that must be repeated through signs of modesty, chastity, and marital status, rather than innate identity. With the concepts of iteration, desire-performattity, radical transgression, abjection, and normative re-iteration, this article reveals how colonial moralistic narratives maintain heteronormativity through the threat of systematic social destruction. Njonja Kam Jade Nio, who originally succeeded in the performance of honorable femininity, experienced gender un-doing when entering public spaces without supervision, became an active desire agent, and was in contact with lower-class subjects. The consequence is total abjection in the form of physical expulsion, renaming, economic exclusion, and intervention by the colonial apparatus. The results of the study confirm that gender analysis cannot be separated from colonialism and class as a system of power that produces each other in the historical context of the Dutch East Indies in the 1920s.

This study aims to analyze the effect of information technology (IT)-based learning media on improving students' academic performance. With the advancement of digital technology, the use of IT-based media such as interactive presentations, educational videos, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and online quiz applications has become part of modern teaching strategies. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The subjects of the study were secondary school students divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used include learning achievement tests to measure academic performance and observation sheets to assess the implementation of IT media usage. Data were analyzed using t-tests and simple regression analysis. The results show a significant difference in academic performance between students who used IT-based learning media and those who used conventional methods. The experimental group showed a higher average score compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the use of IT-based learning media, when planned and implemented systematically, can improve students' motivation, engagement, and understanding of learning materials. Therefore, the integration of information technology into the learning process is recommended as an innovative strategy to enhance the quality of education.

This study examines the mediating role of SDG disclosure in the relationship between ESG score and financial performance within the mandatory reporting context of non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021-2023. Using a purposive sample of 59 companies (177 observations), the analysis employs panel data regression and the Sobel test to evaluate ESG metrics from Refinitiv Eikon alongside disclosure and financial data from corporate reports. Empirical results show that ESG score does not significantly predict SDG disclosure nor directly affect financial performance measured by ROE. Furthermore, SDG disclosure shows no significant association with financial performance and fails to mediate the ESG-ROE relationship. Firm size is the only variable positively related to SDG disclosure, suggesting that reporting practices are more strongly driven by organizational resources and public visibility than by substantive ESG performance. Overall, the findings reveal a decoupling phenomenon, where sustainability reporting in Indonesia tends to reflect symbolic compliance rather than value-creating integration. The study concludes that a credibility gap exists in the capital market, as SDG disclosure has not yet functioned as an effective mechanism for converting ESG performance into financial gains. This study provides evidence on the limitations of SDG disclosure as a value transmission mechanism in emerging market, offering insights for regulators and market participants seeking to enhance the economic relevance and credibility of SDG reporting.

The purpose of this research is to examine how guidance and counseling instructors may help children in junior high get over their anxiety about speaking out in class. Students' lack of confidence and engagement in class might be exacerbated by the widespread problem of their fear of asking questions. In order to delve further into the issue, this study used a descriptive technique based on qualitative research. Students and instructors of guidance and counseling participated in interviews and observations to compile the data. The results highlight the important role that counseling and guidance instructors play in assisting students in coping with anxiety. Counseling sessions with individuals, group guidance exercises, and making an attempt to establish a welcoming classroom setting all contribute to this goal. Teachers also use excellent communication tactics and motivating initiatives to help pupils feel more comfortable expressing themselves. A more favorable classroom environment may also be achieved via collaboration between topic teachers and counseling instructors. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that students' anxiety of asking questions may be successfully reduced via the use of suitable counseling and guiding interventions. Consequently, students' self-esteem, classroom engagement, and academic performance are all much improved when guidance and counseling instructors are present.

This study examines inclusive education for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), who often experience significant challenges in social interaction and academic adaptation. The primary objective is to evaluate existing educational approaches and strategies implemented in Indonesia, while also identifying gaps in current research and practice. This study employs a literature review method, analyzing 20 relevant scientific articles to synthesize key findings and trends. The results indicate that structured approaches such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) have proven effective in improving students’ behavioral outcomes, emotional regulation, and academic performance. These approaches emphasize proactive strategies, skill development, and supportive learning environments. However, several persistent challenges hinder optimal implementation, including limited teacher knowledge and training in inclusive practices, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of access to professional psychological services.

Public accountability is a key principle in the implementation of good governance, particularly in fulfilling the responsibilities of local governments. One instrument of this accountability is the Regional Government Administration Report (Laporan Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Daerah / LPPD), which is prepared annually by regional heads and submitted to the central government. This study aims to analyze public accountability in the preparation of the LPPD in Ponorogo Regency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. Informants include the LPPD preparation team at the Regional Secretariat of Ponorogo Regency and Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) involved in providing data. The analysis uses accountability indicators including responsiveness, debate forums, coordination, autonomy, clarity of performance evaluation standards, negotiation, accountability campaigns, evaluation and feedback, and participation and responsiveness to environmental changes. The results indicate that the preparation of the LPPD in Ponorogo Regency has followed administrative procedures and is supported by the involvement of regional agencies and a digital-based reporting system. However, its implementation remains less than optimal, particularly in terms of responsiveness of regional agencies, cross-sector coordination, public accountability campaigns, and mechanisms for public participation.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of good governance principles in inclusive public services in Candisari District, Semarang City. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Research informants consisted of sub-district officials and community service users, including vulnerable groups. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of good governance principles in Candisari District has begun, but has not been running optimally. The principle of transparency has been attempted through the provision of service information and the use of digital media, but accessibility of information for vulnerable groups is still limited. The principle of accountability has not been fully realized, as indicated by the less than optimal performance of the Women and Children Protection Task Force (Satgas PPA) in carrying out its duties and the less than optimal inclusive public complaint mechanism. From the aspect of participation, community involvement, especially vulnerable groups, in the planning and decision-making process is still limited and unstructured. In addition, legal certainty and regional security stability are relatively conducive, but still require institutional strengthening and synergy between stakeholders. This study concludes that the implementation of good governance in Candisari District still faces institutional, participation, and service accessibility constraints, so a strategy is needed to strengthen governance to realize inclusive and sustainable public services.
