The interactive learning video innovation "Human Blood Circulation" through Edpuzzle, with embedded questions, is designed to address the difficulties faced by fifth-grade elementary school students in understanding abstract biological concepts. Science education in elementary schools often encounters challenges in explaining invisible processes, such as the heart's working mechanism and blood circulation, leading students to struggle with comprehension or merely memorize the material. Conventional learning videos tend to make students passive, necessitating media that can transform the learning process into an active one. Edpuzzle, as an educational platform, allows teachers to insert questions at critical points in the video, requiring students to answer before continuing to watch. This innovation aligns with the cognitive development stage of fifth-grade students, who are in the concrete operational stage.The research objectives include product development, validity and feasibility testing, analysis of conceptual understanding improvement, influence on focus and learning independence, and student responses. Media development refers to Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia and the characteristics of interactive videos according to Heinich et al. Additionally, media development models such as ADDIE and Dick and Carey are discussed. The main benefits of using Edpuzzle include increasing engagement, facilitating real-time formative assessment, and enhancing learning motivation. However, challenges exist such as technology access, teacher readiness, the risk of technology dependency, and long-term evaluation. The practical implications can support digital learning and the transformation of elementary science education.

The shoe manufacturing industry demands a planned, integrated, and consistent production system in maintaining product quality. One of the crucial stages is the gluing process between the outsole (rubber) and the midsole (phylon), which determines the adhesive strength, comfort, and durability of the shoe. This study aims to analyze the implementation of internship activities in a series of gluing processes in the Stockfit Department of PT X. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through direct observation, involvement in production activities, and systematic field recording during the internship period. The analysis was carried out by linking the field findings with the operations management theory of Heizer and Render, the Crosby concept of quality management, and the principles of continuous improvement from Deming and Imai. The results of the study show that the gluing process has been systematically arranged, starting from material adjustment, primary application, the use of two types of glue, the rubber cutting process, to the final pasting. However, problems were found such as dependency between processes, inconsistency in glue thickness, as well as the influence of machine conditions and operator skills. These problems have the potential to reduce production efficiency and the quality of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen process control and apply the principle of continuous improvement to improve overall production performance.

Plastic waste has become one of the main environmental problems due to its nature, which is difficult to decompose naturally and can cause environmental pollution. One alternative waste treatment method that can be applied is to use a plastic melter to melt and recycle plastic waste into useful products. However, the design of plastic melters often lacks consideration of structural strength and safety aspects during the operation process. This study aims to design and engineer a plastic melter using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation approach to analyze structural resistance to thermal and mechanical loads that occur during the operation process. The research method was carried out through 3D design modeling of plastic melter components using Solidworks software, followed by analysis with FEA simulation on the main component, namely the melting tube. The parameters analyzed include the distribution of von Mises stress, the amount of displacement, and the safety factor. The analysis results show that the analyzed components experience von Mises stress distribution and displacement that are still below the material tolerance limits, with safety factor values above the recommended safety limits. Thus, the resulting plastic melter design is declared safe and can proceed to the manufacturing process. Therefore, the plastic melter design is safe, strong, and feasible to be realized as an effective and sustainable plastic waste processing technology solution.

Learning geometric transformations requires a strong conceptual understanding due to their abstract nature. One effort to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics is through the development of contextual and meaningful instructional materials that incorporate local culture. This study is a research and development (R&D) study employing the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) aimed at examining the validity of the developed Student Worksheets. The validation of the Student Worksheets was conducted by two experts in mathematics education who evaluated the aspects of content feasibility, media, and language and readability. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods with percentage scores to determine the level of validity of the Student Worksheets. The results showed that the developed Student Worksheets obtained a validity percentage of 93.75% for the content feasibility aspect (very valid), 80.77% for the media aspect (valid), and 87.50% for the language and readability aspect (very valid), with an overall average of 87.34%, which falls into the very valid category. Based on these results, the ethnomathematics-based Student Worksheets using the Kepahiang Traditional House context are considered feasible for use as supporting instructional materials in learning geometric transformations.

The legal relationship between doctors and patients is essentially based on an obligation of effort (inspanningverbintenis), rather than an obligation of result (resultaatverbintenis). In practice, however, dissatisfaction with the outcomes of medical services often leads to criminal reports alleging medical negligence, which implies the criminalization of healthcare professionals. On the other hand, Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and the Regulation of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2021 provide broader opportunities for the application of restorative justice in resolving criminal cases, including medical negligence. This research aims to analyze the criteria for applying restorative justice in medical negligence cases at the investigation level, examine resolution patterns oriented toward recovery and justice for all parties, and identify the obstacles faced by investigators in implementing this mechanism. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, conducted through a review of legislation, legal doctrines, and expert opinions in the fields of health law and criminal law. The results indicate that the application of restorative justice in medical negligence cases can, in principle, be carried out as long as it meets the formal and material requirements as regulated in Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, and aligns with the restorative resolution paradigm promoted by Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health. Resolution patterns oriented toward mediation, reconciliation, and reparation are considered more capable of achieving substantive justice for victims while providing protection for medical personnel who lack mens rea. Nevertheless, the implementation of restorative justice at the investigation level still faces various obstacles, including subjectivity in determining compensation, differing understandings among law enforcement officers regarding the boundary between professional error and criminal offense, disagreement between parties, and the pressure of public opinion and social media. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, increase the capacity of investigators, and harmonize understanding among stakeholders to optimize the application of restorative justice in medical negligence cases.

The extruder-type floating pellet machine is a form of appropriate technology that works by using a screw system to push the raw material while applying pressure to form dense pellets. The main source of raw material for making these pellets comes from trash fish, which are small fish caught by fishermen that are unfit for consumption and have low economic value. Trash fish are relatively cheap because they are classified as non-economical, but they have great potential for use as fish feed. Their distinctive strong aroma can stimulate fish appetite, while their relatively high protein content makes them an ideal source of nutrition. Before use, the trash fish are first dried and then ground using a flour machine to achieve a fine texture. The floured material is then mixed and the moisture content is adjusted to around 42%, so that the extrusion process can run optimally when using the extruder-type pellet machine. The material formulation consists of 70% trash fish meal, 15% corn meal, and 15% wheat flour. The resulting pellets are then tested in a feed laboratory and show protein levels ranging from 30-40%, depending on the quality of the trash fish raw material used. This community service activity involves fish farmer groups in the Beji area, East Ungaran District, which is expected to increase fish farmer insight on how to make floating pellets using an extruder type pellet printing machine.

Teaching plane geometry often faces challenges due to the abstract nature of geometric concepts, which are often detached from students’ real-life contexts.

Validation was conducted by two mathematics education experts who assessed the feasibility of content/material, media, and language/readability using a Likert scale instrument. The data were analyzed quantitatively in a descriptive manner using percentage formulas to determine the level of validity. The results showed that the student worksheet obtained a validity percentage of 87.50% in content feasibility (very valid), 80.76% in media (valid), and 87.50% in language (very valid), with an overall average of 85.25%, which falls into the very valid category. Based on these results, the ethnomathematics-based student worksheet with Batik Sekundang motifs is declared suitable to be used as a supporting teaching material for contextual and meaningful plane geometry learning for students in South Bengkulu.

Corruption is a serious problem that leads to declining public trust, weakened governance, and hindered national development. Beyond economic losses, corruption also erodes moral values, ethics, and social justice within society. Therefore, corruption prevention efforts must be carried out systematically and sustainably, one of which is through the internalization of anti-corruption values at an early stage, particularly among students as future generations. This community service activity aimed to instill values of integrity, honesty, responsibility, and public ethics among students through the Anti-Corruption Generation Interactive Seminar, conducted in commemoration of International Anti-Corruption Day 2025. The activity involved approximately 150 junior and senior high school students in Makassar. The method employed was an interactive seminar implemented through material presentations and discussions between speakers and participants. The seminar materials emphasized an understanding of the dangers of corruption, its impacts on national and social life, and the strategic role of students in fostering an anti-corruption culture within schools and the wider community. The evaluation of the activity was conducted through observation of participant engagement and responses during the seminar. The results indicated an increase in students’ understanding and awareness of anti-corruption values, as well as the importance of integrity-oriented behavior in everyday life. This activity demonstrates that interactive seminars can serve as an effective approach to supporting students’ character development and strengthening preventive efforts against corruption.

The results showed that students were enthusiastic in attending the socialization and demonstrated improved understanding of reproductive health concepts, reproductive organ functions, personal hygiene, and the risks of unsafe sexual behaviors. The interactive discussion also revealed students’ willingness to ask questions and share perspectives, reflecting stronger attitudes and confidence in maintaining reproductive health. In conclusion, the socialization of reproductive health at SMKN 1 Mempura successfully enhanced students’ knowledge and awareness. Despite limitations in terms of time allocation and long-term evaluation, this activity provided tangible benefits. Future efforts are recommended to develop sustainable programs supported by additional learning media and closer collaboration with the school.

The lack of a systematic calculation approach makes it difficult for APR Nine to monitor fabric raw material inventory, resulting in raw material purchases still being based on habit and intuition. With a total inventory of 2,001 rolls and raw material usage of 1,803 rolls of fabric, there were seven times of excess stock and five times of shortage during the period of October 2024 to September 2025. The difference between the two was 198 rolls. This study uses the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to analyze fabric raw material inventory control. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis using data from the period of October 2024 to September 2025. The results of the study indicate that 1694 orders with an ordering frequency of 10 times, a safety stock of 29 rolls, and a reorder point of 35 rolls are the ideal quantities when using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) approach. Compared to the previous APR Nine approach, the application of the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method is more effective in reducing overall inventory costs from Rp. 5,011,949.35 to Rp. 4,508,824.67.

This study aims to analyze the shoe production process from an operational management perspective at PT. XYZ. The focus of the research is directed at the stages of the production process and the management of raw materials in supporting the smooth running and efficiency of production activities. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach carried out through an Internship Experience Practice (PPL) at PT. XYZ. Data was collected through direct observation of production activities, interviews with relevant parties in the production department, and supporting documentation. The data obtained was analyzed by describing the production process flow, raw material management system, and production process control, then linked to the concept of operational management. The results showed that the shoe production process at PT. XYZ consisted of several interrelated stages, starting from raw material management to the main production process. The company has implemented a fairly structured operational management system, characterized by the recording of raw materials, the separation of materials by type, and the application of the First in First Out (FIFO) method to maintain material quality and smooth production. However, several operational obstacles were still found, such as limited production time, suboptimal coordination between departments, and the potential for defective products in the production process. The implementation of operational management at PT. XYZ has supported the shoe production process quite effectively, particularly in raw material management and production control. Nevertheless, improved coordination and continuous evaluation of the production process are needed to enhance operational efficiency and product quality.
