Further evaluation and monitoring are needed to assess the long-term impact of the implementation of this work program.

Currently, patients experiencing early symptoms of skin disease caused by the exanthema virus are unable to immediately consult a dermatologist due to the high cost and limited time available for specialists in hospitals. Therefore, the author needs to develop an expert system application that can address this issue. Through this application, users can consult with the system, much like an expert, to diagnose their symptoms and find solutions to their problems. This expert system is designed to provide answers based on whether the symptoms are correct or not, or to provide several recommended answer choices based on the symptoms. To diagnose skin disease caused by the exanthema virus, the author used the Case-Based Reasoning method. The CBR method is a weighting technique that compares new cases with previous cases. The diagnosis is based on data provided by the patient and expert, which is then analyzed using case-based reasoning and stored as a knowledge database in the expert system. Therefore, this expert system can help identify solutions for problems experienced by patients suffering from skin disease caused by the Exanthema Virus.

This study analyzes the implications of the slogan “returning to the Qur’an,” which is frequently understood as a call to rely directly on the Qur’an in addressing religious and social issues while neglecting essential exegetical disciplines such as tafsir, asbāb al-nuzūl, and other authoritative scholarly frameworks. The discussion is reinforced by the findings of Husnul Maab, a postgraduate student at the Institut Ilmu Al-Qur’an (IIQ), whose thesis on the textuality of Qur’anic interpretation and its relationship to religious diversity in Indonesia highlights the serious problems inherent in literalist approaches, particularly in the interpretation of verses related to jihad and politics. This research employs a qualitative library research method, using relevant literature as the primary source of data and analysis, requiring in-depth understanding and critical engagement with the subject matter. The findings indicate that the slogan “returning to the Qur’an” can function as a form of interpretive distortion when it is not accompanied by adequate scholarly competence. Attempts to deepen Qur’anic understanding without integrating the bayānī (textual), burhānī (rational), and ‘irfānī (ethical–spiritual) approaches tend to result in rigid and reductionist interpretations. Such purely textual readings represent an extreme position that may lead to harmful consequences, including the tendency to label others as unbelievers, sinners, or wrongdoers solely due to interpretive differences. Ultimately, religious understanding shaped by reactive and exclusionary interpretations poses a significant threat to religious pluralism and social harmony in Indonesia.

In Indonesia, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have long been recognized as a very important business sector due to their various real roles in the economy. However, MSMEs often face many obstacles in running their businesses. More incentive support from various parties, especially the government, is needed for the development of MSMEs. In order to overcome the problems faced by MSMEs and support their sustainability, a KKU (Business Field Study) activity was carried out by Group 15 at the KKU-11 of the Institute of Technology and Business (ITB) Adias Pemalang at the MSME “Ev_Kids Product.”After conducting an observation phase, several problems faced by the SME were identified, including the lack of social media for marketing, failure to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and maintain simple accounting records, absence of a business logo, banners, promotional image designs, organizational structure, business profile, product catalog, stamps, receipt books, and product attributes. Additionally, the SME had never produced a production video or promotional video.After conducting the observation phase, KKU actors formulated several business development assistance programs, namely creating social media accounts, calculating the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), creating simple bookkeeping, creating a business logo, banners, promotional image designs, organizational structure, business profile, product catalog, stamps, note books, and product attributes in the form of hangtags. They also created production videos and promotional videos.

This study aims to examine self-confidence issues in elementary school students, particularly second-grade students at SDN 1 Gulang.

This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews and observations to identify factors contributing to low self-confidence and the roles of teachers and parents in developing it. The results indicate that low student self-confidence is influenced by internal factors, such as fear, anxiety, and lack of courage, as well as external factors, including family parenting styles, the social environment, and learning experiences at school. Teachers play a strategic role by providing emotional support, positive motivation, and implementing active learning strategies that encourage student engagement. Furthermore, parents play a crucial role in providing guidance, supportive parenting styles, and appropriate social stimulation. This study concludes that efforts to improve student self-confidence require consistent and ongoing collaboration between teachers and parents.

This study examines the administrative problems in managing the Education Data Sistem (Dapodik) as a key instrument for strengthening the institutional capacity of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in West Sumatra. Using a literature review approach, data were collected from various sources, including reports from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), BAN PAUD and PNF, and previous studies. The findings reveal that although Dapodik reporting in West Sumatra has reached 97.8%, several challenges persist, such as limited internet access, low operator competence, insufficient technical supervision, and a lack of institutional awareness of data accuracy. These issues have led to delays in accreditation, misallocation of operational assistance funds (BOP), and ineffective educational planning. Therefore, innovative solutions such as Dapodik gamification, digital inter-institutional mentoring, and operator certification are recommended to improve data management effectiveness and sustainably strengthen PAUD institutional governance.

Abstract: The rapid diffusion of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intensified public debate regarding its benefits, risks, and societal implications. This study investigates public sentiment and thematic structures surrounding Generative AI by analyzing Twitter discourse as a representation of large-scale, real-time public perception. The research addresses two main problems: how public sentiment toward Generative AI is distributed and what dominant themes shape this perception. Accordingly, the objective is to map both emotional polarity and thematic narratives embedded in social media conversations. A computational mixed-methods approach was employed using a dataset of 12,470 tweets collected on 17 December 2024. Sentiment classification was conducted using a transformer-based DistilBERT model, while semantic representations were generated with Sentence-BERT. Topic modeling was performed using BERTopic, integrating HDBSCAN clustering and class-based TF-IDF to extract coherent and interpretable topics. Human-in-the-loop validation supported the interpretive robustness of topic labeling. The findings reveal that public sentiment toward Generative AI is predominantly positive (41.8%), particularly in relation to productivity enhancement, education, and creative applications. Neutral sentiment (31.4%) reflects informational discourse, while negative sentiment (26.8%) centers on ethical concerns, privacy risks, misinformation, and AI hallucinations. Seven dominant topics were identified, with clear topic–sentiment alignment showing optimism in utility-driven themes and skepticism in ethics- and risk-related discussions. In conclusion, public perception of Generative AI is dualistic—characterized by strong enthusiasm alongside persistent caution. These results provide empirical insights for AI governance, responsible innovation, and future research on socio-technical impacts of Generative AI. *    

The era of globalization demands that education systems produce human resources who are skilled, adaptable, and capable of competing in the international job market.

These challenges include the mismatch between competencies taught in educational institutions and those required by the workforce, limited digital literacy and technological mastery, the lack of soft skills development, and insufficient collaboration between schools and industries. Rapid technological advancements often result in curricula that lag behind the current skill demands of the labor market. Moreover, many students still lack the mindset, creativity, and adaptability needed to face global competition. This literature-based study aims to identify the main educational problems in preparing human resources for the world of work and propose strategic directions for improvement. Findings highlight the necessity of competency-based curriculum transformation, enhanced vocational training, integration of technology-based learning, and stronger partnerships between education providers and industry sectors. Enhancing teacher quality is also crucial to ensure learning processes remain relevant to global demands. By optimizing the roles of all stakeholders, education can produce graduates who possess not only technical expertise but also essential 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership. Therefore, education becomes the primary foundation for preparing a generation capable of competing globally and contributing to national development.

Divorce often creates new problems, one of which is related to child custody and visitation rights for parents who do not have custody. Prohibiting visitation by the custodial parent not only violates the rights of the non-custodial parent, but also disregards the child's right to receive affection from both parents. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of legal protection available to non-custodial parents who are prohibited from seeing their children. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. Data collected from interviews with legal practitioners and parties who have experienced similar problems are included in this study. The results show that prohibiting parents who have custody from meeting their children is against the law and contrary to the principle of the best interests of the child. Parents who do not have custody rights can file a lawsuit to revoke custody rights, as stipulated in SEMA No. 1 January 2017. This study emphasizes the importance of the law in balancing the rights and obligations of parents after divorce for the best interests of the child.
