The use of plastic as planting containers remains a serious environmental issue due to its non-biodegradable nature, which can contaminate soil and water. One solution is to utilize rice straw waste as a raw material for biodegradable pots. This innovation can reduce dependence on plastic pots while providing ecological and economic benefits. Rice straw-based pots offer several advantages, including easy decomposition in soil, enhancing soil fertility, and reducing pollution caused by straw burning. This study aims to utilize rice straw waste to produce environmentally friendly biodegradable pots as an alternative to plastic containers. The method employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), emphasizing collaboration between students and teachers through hands-on learning. The activities include socialization, practical training on making rice straw pots, participatory evaluation, and the use of the pots as planting media. The results showed that 100% of participants successfully produced high-quality rice straw pots, with positive responses reflected in high satisfaction and increased understanding of recycling concepts. The rice straw pots decompose within 2–3 months, add organic matter to the soil, and create opportunities for a circular economy. The main challenge identified is the relatively short durability of the pots, requiring innovations using natural adhesives or material combinations to enhance resilience. These findings reinforce the potential of rice straw as a solution for agricultural waste management and community empowerment toward sustainable agriculture.

Pemilihan jurusan di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) merupakan tahap penting yang mempengaruhi arah pendidikan dan karier siswa di masa depan. Di SMK XYZ Kabupaten Tegal, pemilihan jurusan masih dilakukan secara konvensional dengan mempertimbangkan nilai rapor dan saran dari guru atau orang tua, yang cenderung bersifat subjektif dan tidak sepenuhnya memperhatikan potensi serta minat individual siswa. Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan sistem pendukung keputusan (SPK) yang dapat memberikan rekomendasi jurusan secara objektif dan sistematis menggunakan dua metode, yaitu Naive Bayes dan Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Naive Bayes, yang berbasis pada algoritma probabilistik, telah terbukti efektif dalam memprediksi ketuntasan belajar siswa, sementara SAW banyak digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan multikriteria dengan memperhitungkan beberapa aspek kriteria seperti nilai rapor, hasil psikotes, dan minat siswa. Penelitian ini mengkomparasi kedua metode tersebut untuk menentukan mana yang lebih optimal dalam memberikan rekomendasi jurusan yang akurat dan sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa di SMK XYZ. Hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat memberikan solusi alternatif bagi sekolah dalam proses pemilihan jurusan yang lebih objektif, efisien, dan minim subjektivitas, serta dapat diterapkan pada proses pendidikan di SMK lainnya.

Penelitian ini membahas penempatan Guru Pendidikan Agama Katolik di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah, khususnya terkait distribusi yang belum merata antara wilayah perkotaan dan daerah. Fakta menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah kabupaten mengalami kekurangan guru, sementara di daerah lain justru terjadi kelebihan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakangi keengganan guru ditempatkan di daerah, serta alternatif solusi pemenuhan kebutuhan tenaga pendidik. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian campuran (mixed methods) dengan penyebaran kuesioner kepada 348 responden guru Katolik dan wawancara mendalam dengan beberapa guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor utama keengganan guru ditempatkan di daerah adalah: kesejahteraan guru, keterikatan dengan keluarga dan lingkungan sosial (71,8%), keterbatasan aksesibilitas dan infrastruktur (10,6%), minimnya jaringan komunikasi (9,7%), serta tantangan sosial dan budaya (7,7%). Selain itu, kurangnya pemerataan pembangunan fasilitas pendidikan, rendahnya layanan pendidikan, serta terbatasnya distribusi guru berkualitas turut memperparah situasi pendidikan. Sebagai solusi, pemenuhan kebutuhan guru dapat dilakukan melalui kerja sama dengan Lembaga Keagamaan Katolik (keuskupan, kevikepan, dekenat, paroki, wilayah, dan stasi) sebagaimana diatur dalam ketentuan teknis Kementerian Agama. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya kebijakan afirmatif untuk pemerataan distribusi guru Agama Katolik dengan memperhatikan kesejahteraan, aksesibilitas, serta dukungan kelembagaan agar pendidikan agama Katolik dapat terselenggara secara merata di seluruh wilayah Kalimantan Tengah.

Terminal sanitation plays a crucial role in creating a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for public transportation users.

The low scores were caused by several factors, including substandard toilet conditions, lack of separated trash bins, inadequate ventilation and lighting, and the absence of first aid kits and fire extinguishers. The study concludes that the sanitation conditions at Jakabaring Terminal do not meet the standards of a healthy terminal. Greater attention and action are required from the terminal management and relevant authorities to improve sanitation quality and ensure user comfort.

Pemilihan umum daerah merupakan salah satu instrumen utama dalam mewujudkan prinsip kedaulatan rakyat di tingkat lokal. Tetapi, dinamika ketatanegaraan pasca reformasi menunjukkan bahwa sistem dan norma hukum pemilu sering kali mengalami perubahan signifikan akibat Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). Putusan-putusan tersebut tidak hanya mengoreksi ketentuan undang-undang, tetapi juga mengubah struktur dasar penyelenggaraan pemilu, termasuk sistem proporsional terbuka, ambang batas parlemen, hingga teknis penghitungan suara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi yuridis putusan MK terhadap hukum pemilu daerah dan merumuskan model rekonstruksi hukum yang sesuai dengan prinsip kepastian, keadilan, dan demokrasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan sejarah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa akibat hukum dari putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 135/PUU-XXII/2024 adalah terjadinya kekosongan jabatan DPRD dan Kepala Daerah selama masa transisi antara tahun 2029 hingga 2031, yang menuntut adanya solusi hukum yang jelas dan konstitusional. Untuk mengatasi kekosongan tersebut, diperlukan rekonstruksi hukum melalui tiga opsi alternatif, yaitu: perpanjangan masa jabatan secara terbatas, penunjukan Penjabat Kepala Daerah, atau pelaksanaan pemilu antara untuk masa jabatan transisi selama 2,5 tahun.
