Biodiversity is essentially a reflection of the number of species and individuals inhabiting a community, as seen in the Pteridophyta group. These plants, which have evolved to have differentiated roots, stems, and leaves, play an important role in forest systems, primarily as protectors of the soil surface from the effects of erosion, in addition to contributing to the decomposition of organic matter that produces nutrients, and being a major part of the producer chain in the trophic structure. The Jaboi hot spring area, located in the Sukajaya District of Sabang City, exhibits unique ecological characteristics, influenced by the presence of the Jaboi volcano, which gives rise to geothermal phenomena such as fumarole activity, hot steam emissions, and the emergence of high-temperature water flows. This geothermal dynamic directly causes alterations in the physical and chemical conditions of the local soil, thereby shaping habitat characteristics and influencing the existence of vegetation, including ferns. To date, there is little scientific information available on the diversity of ferns in this area. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine and measure the diversity of ferns in the Jaboi hot spring area. The study was conducted in October 2025 using an exploratory survey approach to determine plots and purposive sampling techniques for field data collection. Diversity analysis was based on the Shannon-Wiener index (Ĥ) formula. Based on the identification results, 15 species of ferns from a total of 6 families and 433 individuals were found. The diversity index obtained (Ĥ=2.490171) indicates a moderate level.

This research originated from a concern about the existence of villages that are factually underdeveloped, but aren't recognized as 3T (Terdepan, Tertinggal, dan Terdepan) regions in the national regulatory framework. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Banyumas, which consists of 301 villages, with several villages indicated to be underdeveloped. Through the analysis of secondary data from BPS, Dinsospermades, and Bappedalitbang Banyumas, this study took 6 sample villages to analyze in order to understand the pattern of underdevelopment that is not covered by the formal 3T status. The purpose of this study is to highlight the reality of de facto remote areas that aren’t administratively recognized as 3T areas, and therefore don't have access to special funding schemes, and to examine the potential for replication of 3T area policies that can be adapted in Kabupaten Banyumas, with adjustments to local characteristics. Using a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with village government officials, this research mapped the needs, barriers, and opportunities for more contextualized policy interventions. This research recommends the development of a planning and budgeting model based on local needs and a social justice approach in the distribution of development resources. Thus, Banyumas can become an alternative policy laboratory to address development inequality outside the formal framework of the 3T regions.

The role of the Holy Spirit is one of the central aspects of Christian theology, particularly within Evangelical theology, which seeks to uphold a balance between biblical truth and spiritual experience. This study aims to examine the understanding of the Holy Spirit in Evangelical theology, with a specific focus on the relationship between biblical pneumatology and the expressions of contemporary charismatic movements. The approach used is a theological–descriptive study through an analysis of biblical literature, classical Evangelical theological works, and contemporary research on charismatic movements in Indonesia and around the world. The findings indicate that Evangelical theology understands the Holy Spirit primarily as a divine person who works in regeneration, sanctification, and ministry empowerment based on the authority of Scripture. Meanwhile, the charismatic movement emphasizes more phenomenological aspects of the Holy Spirit’s work, such as Spirit baptism, spiritual gifts (charismata), and manifestations of supernatural power. Theological tension arises when charismatic experiences do not always align with the strict Evangelical hermeneutical principles applied to Scripture. Nevertheless, both approaches offer important contributions: biblical pneumatology preserves a healthy doctrinal foundation, while charismatic spirituality reminds the church of the importance of the Holy Spirit’s dynamic power in contemporary ecclesial life. This study concludes that integrating biblical foundations with openness to the work of the Holy Spirit can enrich the understanding and praxis of the contemporary Evangelical church. The church needs to develop a balanced pneumatology that is rooted in Scripture yet responsive to the movement of the Holy Spirit within the changing contexts of time and culture.

This research examines the analysis of Return on Equity (ROE), Quick Ratio (QR), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on corporate valuation, as assessed by Price-to-Book Value (PBV), within technology firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2022 to 2024. The primary aim of this investigation is to ascertain the effects of profitability, liquidity, and leverage both in isolation and in conjunction on market valuation in an industry characterized by innovation and intangible assets. This research employs panel data regression analysis utilizing EViews 13 as the quantitative methodology. The findings reveal that ROE significantly enhances PBV, indicating that investors place considerable importance on firms that are capable of generating substantial returns on equity for shareholders. Conversely, QR and DER appear to have no discernible impact on PBV. This observation can be attributed to the unique nature of technology companies, wherein investors prioritize factors other than short-term liquidity and leverage. Nonetheless, when assessed collectively, the three metrics illuminate the variations in corporate value. These results suggest that while financial stability indices exert a positive yet comparatively subdued effect on investor sentiment within the technology sector, profitability remains a paramount determinant. The study elucidates the financial determinants that influence corporate value in innovation-driven industries, providing valuable insights for managers and investors alike.

The high-value horticulture sector has gained increasing attention in modern agricultural development, particularly in the cultivation of premium melon through greenhouse and fertigation systems. The Satria Tani Hanggawana Cooperative has initiated premium melon farming to enhance members’ income; however, investment decisions in high-value commodities require a comprehensive financial feasibility assessment to ensure business sustainability. This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of premium melon farming by examining production costs, revenue, income, and financial efficiency indicators. Using a descriptive method with qualitative and quantitative approaches, the research was conducted through direct observation and interviews in two active greenhouses. The results show that the total production cost for one planting season reached Rp20,413,750, dominated by variable costs, reflecting the intensive input requirement to maintain product quality. The total revenue of Rp33,950,000 generated a net income of Rp13,536,250, indicating that the enterprise is financially profitable. The R/C Ratio of 1.67 confirms that the business operates efficiently, while the B/C Ratio of 0.67 indicates that net benefits remain below total costs due to reduced production caused by pest disturbances. The break-even analysis further shows that actual production far exceeded the minimum threshold required to avoid losses. Overall, the findings demonstrate that premium melon farming is financially viable, yet improvements in cost management, production monitoring, and greenhouse operational efficiency are essential to enhance profitability and long-term sustainability for the cooperative.

This study aims to analyze the level of flood hazard in Baturaja Barat District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, by applying a spatial approach using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the overlay method. The analysis was carried out by integrating six main physical parameters, namely rainfall, land use, elevation, slope, river density, and soil type. Each parameter was assigned a score and weight according to its influence on flood potential and subsequently processed spatially to produce a flood hazard map. The results indicate that the Baturaja Barat District area is classified into three hazard levels: low (3.25%), moderate (70.64%), and high (25.84%). Areas with high hazard levels are predominantly characterized by densely populated settlements situated at low elevations and in close proximity to river networks, particularly in Tanjung Karang, Air Gading, Talang Jawa, Karang Agung, and surrounding villages. These findings highlight that land-use changes, topographic conditions, and the distribution of river networks play significant roles in increasing flood risk. The results of this study are expected to serve as a foundation for spatial planning, the strengthening of disaster mitigation policies, and the enhancement of community preparedness against flood hazards in the region.

The rolling process is a material forming method that is greatly influenced by the roll rotation speed parameter. Inappropriate rotation variations can cause various defects such as waves, tears, thickness irregularities, and ovalization. This review aims to compare the effect of variations in the roll machine rotation speed on the quality of rolling results on various types of materials, including Al6061-O aluminum plate, rubber sheets, and hollow and pipe-shaped materials. The method used is a literature study by collecting and comparing data on roll speed, defects that appear, deformation results, and process efficiency from several relevant journals. The results of the analysis show that high rotation speeds increase productivity but also increase the risk of defects because the material does not have time to adapt to deformation. Conversely, low rotation speeds produce more stable shapes and minimize defects, but are less efficient for mass production. Each material has a different optimal rotation range, including 23–36 rpm for Al6061-O plate, 45–72 rpm for rubber sheet formation, 24.4 rpm for hollow and pipe rolling, and around 21 rpm for corrugated plate. Overall, this study confirms that rotational speed control is a critical factor in achieving a balance between deformation quality and machining efficiency.

This article discusses the role of Special Assistant Teachers (GPK) in creating an effective inclusive classroom, where all students, including children with special needs, can participate optimally in the learning process.

The results of the study show that the success of inclusive education is greatly influenced by GPK's professional competence, especially in understanding the characteristics of children with special needs and implementing differentiatory learning. In addition, effective collaboration between GPK and regular teachers is a key factor in creating an inclusive and non-discriminatory learning environment. Institutional support, such as inclusive school policies, the availability of infrastructure, and the support of school leaders, also play an important role. This article emphasizes the need for sustainable professional development, clear division of duties, and supportive education policies to strengthen GPK's role in promoting inclusive education equity in Indonesia.

This research examines the mentoring of nationalistic activities by students from the Al-Azhar Menganti Gresik Institute and field supervisors at MI Darunnajah Lebani Suko, Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency, in commemoration of Heroes' Day. Thru a descriptive qualitative approach, this program involves four main activities: the red and white parade, patriotic love songs, little warrior strokes (coloring and writing hero stories), and a colossal drama of patriotic fervor. These activities are creatively designed and based on direct experience to instill nationalistic values in elementary school students. The research results show a significant improvement in students in terms of courage, discipline, creativity, cooperation, and respect for national symbols such as the flag and national anthem. Collaboration between students as facilitators, teachers as pedagogical directors, and the school environment creates a conducive learning ecosystem where participatory methods are more effective than conventional approaches. This experiential learning approach not only enhances cognitive understanding of the struggles of national and local heroes but also builds emotional empathy and social skills. Positive impacts include high student enthusiasm, reduced learning boredom, and character strengthening in accordance with the Pancasila Student Profile, such as mutual cooperation and integrity. Overall, this mentoring program serves as a relevant model for non-formal character education that can be replicated in other schools to strengthen nationalism from an early age amidst the challenges of post-pandemic globalization and individualism.

The low understanding of nutritious food choices among elementary school children remains a problem because it impacts their health, learning abilities, and future eating habits. A similar situation was found at SDN 3 Picungremuk, where students often choose flavored foods without considering their nutritional content. This community service activity aims to improve students' nutritional knowledge through education on the concept of "Isi Piringku" (My Plate). The implementation stages include identifying needs through observation and discussions with teachers, developing materials tailored to children's development, conducting interactive socialization, and practicing how to assemble a balanced meal plate using visual media. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests accompanied by food selection simulations. The output showed a significant increase in understanding. Before the education, most students were unable to combine foods correctly. After the activity, all participants were able to assemble a meal plate according to the principles of balanced nutrition. These findings prove that the use of visual media and hands-on practice is an effective method for instilling healthy eating habits in elementary school children.

Cone is a type of biscuit in wafer qualification that is cone-shaped and used as an ice cream holder. Cone is usually made from wheat flour with the addition of other ingredients as supporting ingredients. Research on making ice cream cones is still rarely done, especially making ice cream cones using red sorghum flour and Eucheuma cottonii puree. This study aims to determine the chemical, physical, and organoleptic characteristics of ice cream cones that are high in fiber and protein, and preferred by consumers. The research used a two-factor factorial completely randomized design (CRD), namely the ratio of wheat flour: red sorghum flour ((90:10), (80:20), (70:30)) and the addition of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed puree/100ml water (5%, 10%, 15%). The results showed that the best treatment was found in the treatment of the ratio of wheat flour: red sorghum flour (80: 20) and the percentage of Eucheuma cottonii puree 10% with fiber content of 4.14% and protein content of 9.73% and organoleptic tests with the results of color 3.53 (neutral), taste 4.23 (like), aroma 3.83 (neutral-like), texture 3.63 (neutral-like), overall liking 4.20 (like). Red sorghum flour ice cream cone and seaweed puree (Eucheuma cottonii) can provide an alternative in increasing food products that are high in protein and fiber.
