The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed healthcare services, including the implementation of online registration systems in hospitals. RSUP Surakarta has operated an online patient registration system since 2021 to reduce wait times and improve service efficiency. However, no formal evaluation has been conducted from the user experience (UX) perspective. This study aims to evaluate the UX of RSUP Surakarta’s online registration system using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) method. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with accidental sampling involving 100 respondents who had used the system in 2024. The UEQ measured six aspects: Attractiveness, Perspicuity, Efficiency, Dependability, Stimulation, and Novelty. Results revealed that all aspects scored positively, with Attractiveness (1.920) and Dependability (1.810) reaching the “Excellent” benchmark. Perspicuity (1.863) and Efficiency (1.868) also showed strong scores, while Stimulation (1.693) and Novelty (1.130) scored lower in the “Good” category. These findings suggest that although the system is well-received, improvements are necessary in terms of user engagement and innovation. Enhancing the user interface and enriching system features are recommended to optimize user satisfaction and ensure alignment with patient-centered service standards. This study contributes to digital service evaluation practices in public healthcare by providing empirical insights into user perceptions and expectations.

This study explores the role of Social Studies (IPS) teachers in optimizing students’ learning activeness through the implementation of the Active Learning model at SMPN 3 Srengat Blitar. The background of this study includes issues such as students’ lack of discipline when entering the classroom, classroom attitudes and habits that hinder the learning process, and the use of monotonous and less engaging teaching methods. The purpose of this research is to examine the role of IPS teachers, the impact of implementing Active Learning, the challenges teachers face, and institutional support provided by the school in enhancing student engagement. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, students, and school authorities. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation of sources, techniques, and theories. The results indicate that IPS teachers actively serve as facilitators and motivators in implementing Active Learning strategies, such as group discussions, student presentations, and the use of interactive media. The application of this model increased student participation, encouraged self-expression, and enhanced classroom engagement. Despite challenges such as time constraints and varying student readiness, school support significantly contributed to the successful implementation of this approach. Thus, Active Learning is proven to be effective in creating an engaging and student-centered learning environment, aligning with the theory proposed by Bonwell and Eison.

This study examines the factors that influence teacher satisfaction with performance and work environment, essential for the quality of education. Through literature study, it was found that teacher satisfaction directly impacts performance (quality, quantity, punctuality of teaching). The work environment, both physical (school facilities) and non-physical (relationships between colleagues, management support, school climate), is a major determinant of satisfaction. Although teachers face challenges, a positive environment has been shown to increase satisfaction. It is concluded that satisfaction, performance, and work environment are mutually reinforcing. Strategic investment in these elements is essential to create a better education ecosystem.

Education plays a fundamental role as the primary foundation for shaping character, personality, and mastery of knowledge. From an Islamic perspective, the position of teachers is crucial, as they are not merely instructors but also serve as moral, spiritual, and social guides for students. This study aims to explain the uniqueness of teachers from an Islamic perspective by highlighting their status, role, and relevance in contemporary education. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative with a literature review, conducted through a review of relevant literature. The findings indicate that teachers are viewed as respected figures and agents of change responsible for instilling values ​​of faith, knowledge, and noble morals in future generations. However, current reality shows that respect for teachers is often declining, as this profession is often viewed as merely a formal job without considering the inherent noble values. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of renewing public understanding regarding the uniqueness of teachers from an Islamic perspective, so that their strategic position and role are maintained. The recommendations from this study invite all elements, including society, students, and policy makers, to increase respect for teachers, while teachers themselves are expected to continue to improve their professional competence, provide real examples, and serve with full sincerity for the sake of realizing a generation that is intelligent, knowledgeable, faithful, and has good morals in accordance with Islamic guidance.

Responsibility for human crimes is regulated in legislation, which is a very important topic in a country. Responsibility for a crime committed by humans includes several aspects, including an understanding of what is the basis of a crime, who is responsible for the crime, and how the legal system handles the violation.In many legal systems, liability for a crime usually includes three main elements: awareness (mens rea), action (actus reus), and the impact of the action. Awareness refers to the perpetrator's intention or knowledge when committing an act that is considered a crime. Action refers to a physical act or behavior that violates the law, while impact refers to the consequences of that action, either directly or indirectly.This legislation regulates various types of crimes and establishes sanctions or penalties for violations. These sanctions may vary depending on the severity of the crime, factors influencing the perpetrator, and other considerations. For example, minor crimes may only be punished by a fine or short prison sentence, while serious crimes can result in long-term prison sentences or even the death penalty in some jurisdictions.
