The purpose of this scientific paper is to design and implement a knowledge-based expert system to assist students in determining their major specializations at Vocational High Schools (SMK) more objectively and accurately. A major problem frequently faced by SMK students is the mismatch in department selection caused by a lack of understanding regarding their own potential and the specific criteria of each competency. To address this issue, the system was developed using the Forward Chaining method as the inference engine. This method operates in a data-driven manner, beginning with the collection of facts such as interests, academic abilities, and psychological aspects, which are then matched against a Knowledge Base consisting of IF-THEN logical rules. Based on system testing results, the inference engine is capable of processing the list of facts to generate a specialization diagnosis for SMK students and provide the most relevant departmental recommendations, such as Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ), Accounting, Office Automation and Governance (OTKP), or Marketing. The research results indicate that the implementation of the Forward Chaining method is effective in accelerating the decision-making process and minimizing placement errors. This expert system is expected to serve as a tool for Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in providing appropriate career direction for students based on structured empirical data.

The flash floods and landslides that occurred in Central Aceh and Bener Meriah Regencies demonstrate that disaster issues are not only related to natural factors but are also influenced by community social communication patterns. This study aims to analyze disaster communication based on local wisdom to improve preparedness, emergency response, and recovery of disaster-affected communities. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, village officials, and affected communities, as well as field observations and documentation studies. The results indicate that the local wisdom of the Gayo community, such as the role of the village reje, mosque imam, customary deliberations, and the value of maintaining natural balance, serves as an effective and trusted disaster communication medium. However, this local wisdom has not been optimally integrated into the formal disaster communication system of the local government. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between modern communication and local wisdom as a sustainable and contextual disaster communication strategy.

This research is motivated by problems related to obstacles in the ability to master English vocabulary, in which children find it very difficult to memorize English words, the accuracy of pronouncing English vocabulary delivered by the teacher, especially when memorizing vocabulary with more than one syllable as well as the presence of errors or inaccuracies in pronunciation and in answering the intended meaning during English learning activities. The reality found in the field shows that the children’s English vocabulary ability has not yet demonstrated significant success. Out of a total of 12 students, only 4 children have the expected level of ability. The purpose of this study is to describe efforts to improve children’s English vocabulary using the singing method. The benefits of this research include improving students’ English vocabulary skills, encouraging teachers to become more creative and innovative, and contributing to school quality improvement. This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, and each cycle consists of two meetings. The research was conducted at PAUD An-Nur located in East Pontianak. The improvement actions implemented showed satisfactory results. In Cycle I, children’s ability to pronounce English vocabulary reached 33%, which was still below the Minimum Mastery Criterion (MMC) of 70%. Furthermore, in Cycle II, the results reached 83%, which was already above the MMC. It can be concluded that the singing method is effective in improving children’s English vocabulary.

The phenomenon of cockfighting still persists in various communities in Indonesia as a cultural practice, entertainment, and symbol of certain social identities. However, this practice raises serious issues when analyzed from the perspectives of modern bioethics, animal welfare, public health, and normative religious values, particularly maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study aims to examine the ethical conflicts that arise from cockfighting by analyzing the biological and physiological impacts on animals, violations of animal welfare principles, and tensions between local cultural legitimacy and universal ethical standards. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach based on a review of relevant scientific literature, including national and international publications in the fields of bioethics, animal welfare, animal health, and law. The results of the study show that cockfighting systematically causes severe physical injury, extreme biological stress, behavioral disorders, and an increased risk of zoonotic disease transmission, so it can be categorized as a form of organized animal cruelty. From a bioethical and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah perspective, this practice contradicts the principles of respect for life, non-maleficence, and protection of life and public welfare. The lack of legal protection focused on animal welfare reinforces the urgency of a transformative approach through regulatory reformulation, public education, and the development of non-violent cultural alternatives. This study is expected to serve as a scientific and ethical basis for policy formulation and contextual and sustainable animal protection efforts.
