This study aims to see to what extent the use of the Ruangguru platform affects students' learning motivation in offline Indonesian language learning at the Indonesian Education University. Amid the rapid development of educational technology, it is important to understand the role of digital tools such as Ruangguru in the context of face-to-face learning. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 102 students who have used Ruangguru and are at least 15 years old. The results show that most aspects of platform use are classified as low, but elements such as attractiveness of appearance, presentation of materials, and quality of learning videos are quite appreciated by users. Students' learning motivation is in the fairly high category, especially in terms of enthusiasm for learning and self-confidence in understanding the material. The habit of using the platform routinely is still relatively low. These findings indicate that Ruangguru has the potential to support offline learning motivation, but its effectiveness will be more pronounced if accompanied by direct direction from lecturers and more structured learning strategies.

Art cannot be separated from human life, including in the stages of childhood development. In addition to having aesthetic values, art also plays an important role in inspiring children's creativity and imagination. Early Childhood Education (PAUD), as a pioneer in the national education process, has a role in developing children's potential from various aspects, such as cognitive, language, art, morals, religion, movement, and socio-emotional. One important aspect in children's physical development is motor development, both gross and fine motor skills. One form of effective stimulus in developing children's motor skills is through learning dance. Dance provides space for children to practice body movement coordination, balance, and muscle strength, while stimulating self-expression. The basic elements in dance, such as movement, energy, space, and time, play an important role in supporting children's creativity in expressing themselves through body movements. Therefore, dance is one of the effective media in supporting children's motor development and creativity as a whole.

This thesis examines the legal consequences faced by notaries who refuse to draft credit agreement deeds containing elements of usury, with a focus on Tuban City. The study addresses two main issues: whether a notary can lawfully refuse such a deed, and what legal sanctions may apply if they do. Using a normative legal research approach with case, statutory, and conceptual analyses, the study finds that while the UUJN (Notary Law) does not explicitly permit refusal on religious grounds, it also does not prohibit it if the client can be served by another notary. Refusal based on Islamic principles—specifically the prohibition of usury (riba)—does not warrant sanctions under Article 85 of the UUJN, unless the refusal leads to the client's abandonment. In such cases, administrative sanctions may apply. According to the Notary Code of Ethics, acting outside legal provisions may also result in disciplinary action. The study concludes that current laws do not provide sufficient legal protection for notaries who seek to align their professional duties with religious beliefs. It recommends legal reform to ensure notaries have the right to uphold sharia principles without fear of sanctions, through amendments to the UUJN that consider religious freedom and human rights, while still ensuring client access to legal services.

One of the main elements affecting patron happiness, particularly in educational settings, is the caliber of library services. For students, the library serves as an essential information source. The expectations of users and the actual services offered, however, frequently diverge. Prior research has demonstrated that high-quality services can boost students' enthusiasm for reading and their contentment with library resources. This study's methodology is quantitative and survey-based. The author selected 57 individuals from the population, all of whom were library patrons. Data collecting methods, including questionnaires and documentation, were employed to get the information required for this investigation. The data analysis's findings demonstrated that the library offered its patrons quite good services. The majority of respondents (22, or 38.6%) selected "Satisfied," indicating that they were happy with the facilities and services offered, particularly with regard to staff services and book collections. The lowest, "Not Satisfied," was reported by as many as two individuals, or 3.5%.

Regian Music is a music service provider company established in 2021 and has been operating in the regions of Cirebon, Indramayu, Majalengka, and Kuningan, contributing to various events including parties. The Regian Music band has the potential to emphasize professionalism, but it faces challenges with its visual logo element. The current logo of Regian Music does not yet represent the band's vision and mission. In the old logo, there is inconsistency in the use of elements, typography, and colors. There is also a "Canva" watermark in the center of the logo, which detracts from its professionalism in a visual context. Therefore, a logo redesign is necessary to better reflect the characteristics of the Regian Music band. The logo redesign process follows the Brand Identity design method (Alina Wheeler, 2013). The new logo is created with a music theme and minimalist design style, using a combination of red, black, and white colors, as well as incorporating Japanese element concepts.

This study analyzes the use of symbols in the animated film Wall-E, directed by Andrew Stanton, which conveys environmental and social issues through a semiotic lens. The research applies a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on the interpretation of signs and meanings embedded within the film’s visual elements and narrative structure. The aim is to explore how symbolic representations contribute to the film’s critique of human behavior and modern lifestyles. The findings identify several key symbols used throughout the film. The barren, deserted Earth serves as a metaphor for environmental destruction caused by human greed and overconsumption. Wall-E, the main character, symbolizes resilience and hope amidst ecological collapse. A small green plant becomes a central symbol of renewal and the possibility of life returning to Earth. The spaceship Axiom represents a society dominated by extreme consumerism, where humans have become passive, dependent, and physically detached from nature. Additionally, the depiction of human interactions—or the lack thereof—illustrates the theme of social alienation driven by overreliance on technology. These symbols collectively function as a powerful critique of unsustainable living patterns, warning audiences of the consequences of neglecting environmental responsibility. Furthermore, the film emphasizes the need for balance between technological advancement and ecological awareness. In conclusion, this research highlights the effectiveness of animated films like Wall-E in delivering social and environmental messages. It suggests that cinema can be a potent medium for raising awareness, fostering critical thinking, and educating audiences about the importance of sustainability and human connection in the face of modern challenges.
