This study aims to describe the forms and social functions of code-switching and code-mixing in the film Hujan Bulan Juni and to explain how language choice represents identity and social differences among the characters. The film was chosen because it portrays interactions between characters from different cultural backgrounds Javanese and Manadonese which allows for complex patterns of language contact. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using observation and note-taking techniques on dialogues containing Indonesian, Javanese, and Manadonese linguistic elements. The data were analyzed using the sociolinguistic frameworks of Gumperz (1982) and Wardhaugh (2015) to uncover the social functions and identity meanings reflected in the speakers’ language choices.The findings reveal that code-switching from Indonesian to Manadonese serves to reinforce ethnic solidarity, emotional closeness, and cultural pride, while switching from Indonesian to Javanese reflects politeness, intimacy, and social hierarchy. Meanwhile, code-mixing between Indonesian and Manadonese marks distinctive speech styles and expresses regional identity, whereas code-mixing between Indonesian and Javanese functions to soften utterances and portray the speakers’ courteous demeanor. Overall, language choice in Hujan Bulan Juni is not merely a communicative tool but also a representation of identity and social differentiation within Indonesia’s multilingual society.

This study aims to analyze the effect of using cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) as a carbohydrate-based feed ingredient on body weight gain in beef cattle. The review was conducted using a descriptive literature study approach based on sixteen scientific articles discussing the nutritional composition, processing methods, and performance responses of beef cattle fed cassava-based diets. The analysis shows that cassava contains 17.45–88.6% dry matter, 2.4–21.45% crude protein, and 11.35–92.2% nitrogen-free extract, with variations influenced by plant part, processing method, and hydrocyanic acid (HCN) content. Processing techniques such as fermentation and ensiling can reduce HCN levels by more than 70% while increasing crude protein content up to 25%, thereby improving digestibility and feed efficiency. The inclusion of cassava in the form of flour, dried chips, pulp, or fermented peel consistently enhances dry matter intake and average daily gain (ADG) of beef cattle at inclusion levels of 20–50% in the diet. Overall, cassava has strong potential as a locally available, economical, and sustainable feed ingredient to improve beef cattle productivity.

This study aims to determine the ideal stocking density of catfish using the triple integral method. This mathematical method is applied to accurately calculate the volume of the cultivation pond and analyze the stocking amount and biomass projection at three different density levels, namely 50, 75, and 100 fish/m³. The calculation of the volume of the pond measuring 27 m x 11 m x 1.5 m produces a value of 445.5 m³. Based on the integral calculation, the optimal stocking amount is 22,275 fish, 33,413 fish, and 44,550 fish for each density, with the final biomass projection reaching 300.7 kg, 451.1 kg, and 600.4 kg, respectively. The analysis shows that the density of 100 fish/m³ produces the highest biomass, but its application must consider technical factors such as water quality, oxygen availability, and food competition. This method provides a solid and practical mathematical foundation for more efficient, scalable, and sustainable aquaculture planning.

Weight gain can be a concern for some women, with some considering a body conforming to specific beauty standards as an ideal or desired goal. The use of progesterone hormone injections, which affect the appetite control center in the hypothalamus, can increase appetite and potentially lead to weight gain. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method with a quantitative approach conducted at the Independent Midwife Practice in the working area of the Kragilan Serang Community Health Center, Banten, using secondary data from medical records. Data collection involved 96 respondents divided into 48 samples of 1-month injectable contraceptive (KB Suntik) users and 48 samples of 3-month injectable contraceptive users. The total research sample size is 96 respondents, with the majority falling in the 20–40 age group and the remainder aged >40 years. The results indicate that among the 48 respondents using the 1-month injectable contraceptive, the average weight gain is 0. 938 kg, while for the 3-month injectable contraceptive, the average weight gain is 4. 251 kg.

Stress among early adolescent girls in junior high school is an increasing health concern due to academic demands, social pressure, digital exposure, and menstrual related discomforts. Complementary interventions such as deep-breathing techniques offer a simple method that can be implemented in school settings to rapidly reduce stress. This study aimed to examine the effect of deep-breathing techniques on menstrual related stress among ninth-grade female students at SMPN 2 Rambutan, Banyuasin Regency.  A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used. The sample consisted of 60 students selected from the ninth-grade population. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) focusing on stress during menstruation before and after a single deep-breathing session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant reduction in stress scores after the intervention (p < 0.001). The proportion of students in the high-stress category decreased from 20% to 6.7%, while those in the low-stress category increased from 10% to 30%. The mean stress score decreased from 21.35 ± 4.82 to 15.42 ± 4.11. This study concludes that deep-breathing techniques are effective in reducing menstrual-related stress in female students within a single session and can be recommended as a complementary strategy that is easy to implement in schools for adolescent menstrual stress management.

This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and corporate financial distress, with board gender diversity examined as a moderating variable. Using 96 firm-year observations from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2022–2024), the analysis employs variance-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that ESG performance does not exert a statistically significant effect on financial distress, and gender diversity does not moderate this relationship. These non-significant results constitute the central empirical contribution of the study, highlighting that ESG engagement and gender diversity have yet to translate into financial resilience in the Indonesian manufacturing context. The study underscores the importance of contextual factors—such as implementation costs, authenticity of ESG disclosures, and limited female representation on boards—in shaping the effectiveness of sustainability practices. The results provide theoretical implications for Stakeholder and Agency Theory and offer practical insights for managers, regulators, and investors in emerging markets.

This study empirically examines the effects of ownership structure, including managerial, institutional, and public ownership, on tax avoidance practices, using profitability as a moderating variable. The population in this study consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), from which a sample was selected using purposive sampling. A total of 330 observations were collected from 110 manufacturing companies for the period 2022–2024. The variables were tested using multiple linear regression in EViews 12. This study expands on previous research by using profitability as a moderating variable that can influence the relationship between ownership structure and tax avoidance. The results show that institutional ownership has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance practices. An increase in institutional share ownership can reduce tax avoidance practices. Meanwhile, managerial and public ownership do not affect tax avoidance practices. In the moderation test, profitability strengthened the effect of managerial and institutional ownership on tax avoidance. Still, it did not moderate the impact between public ownership and tax avoidance.

This study investigates the relationship between corporate governance characteristics, financial structure, and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) disclosure in Indonesian non-financial firms. Focusing on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2023, the analysis examines whether board size, the proportion of independent commissioners, and leverage influence the extent of ERM disclosure. Using a quantitative approach, multiple linear regression is applied to secondary data obtained from firms’ annual reports. The findings indicate that board size and the proportion of independent commissioners do not have a significant effect on ERM disclosure, while leverage exhibits a positive and significant relationship. This result suggests that firms with higher debt levels are more inclined to enhance risk disclosure as a mechanism to address information asymmetry and demonstrate accountability to investors and creditors. The study contributes to the ERM and corporate governance literature by providing evidence from an emerging market setting and highlighting the practical importance of financial structure in shaping risk transparency, offering relevant insights for corporate decision-makers and regulators to strengthen sustainable risk management practices.

The RIGEM community service program was carried out with the aim of strengthening character education for early childhood through the use of children’s songs in TK B. The background of this activity stems from concerns about the increasing exposure of children to adult songs and content, which may influence their behavior and moral values. Children’s songs were chosen as the main medium because they have simple melodies, easy-to-remember lyrics, and contain positive values that can stimulate children's cognitive, affective, and social development. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the CIPP evaluation model (Context, Input, Process, Product) to assess the effectiveness of the program. Data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of activities. The results show that the children’s songs introduced particularly those containing messages about politeness, cooperation, and responsibility were effective in improving children's understanding of moral values and encouraging positive behavioral changes. Children became more accustomed to using polite expressions, showing empathy, and cooperating during classroom activities. Teachers and parents played an important role in reinforcing these habits both at school and at home. Overall, the RIGEM program proved to be an effective, enjoyable, contextual, and easily implemented effort to foster character development in early childhood education.

Gross motor development is an essential aspect of early childhood education because it contributes to body coordination, balance, muscle strength, and children’s readiness for physical activities. One of the activities that can be used to stimulate gross motor skills is dancing, particularly regional creative dance. This community service program aims to implement the Janger creative dance as a medium to develop gross motor skills in kindergarten group B children. The method used was evaluative with the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product), involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The activity was carried out once a week through stages of rhythm introduction, basic movements, body coordination, and simple dance sequences. The results showed that more than 80% of the children experienced improvement in aspects of balance, movement coordination, agility, and large muscle control. In addition, the activity also enhanced children's self-confidence, courage, and social interaction. Therefore, the Janger dance is proven to be effective as a gross motor stimulation and is suitable to be used as a culturally based learning strategy in early childhood education.
