The diversity of Indonesian society, spread across various regions of the archipelago, reflects immense natural and cultural wealth. However, this cultural diversity also has the potential to trigger national disintegration or division due to differences in perspectives, values, and ways of life. This situation indicates that Indonesian society needs to develop an educational system capable of fostering an appreciative attitude toward cultural, religious, and customary differences among ethnic groups. This reality compels Christian Education to assume a strategic role in strengthening existing diversity. This study aims to examine transformative approaches within Christian Education for fostering harmony amidst Indonesia’s diversity. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, particularly focusing on the approaches and implementation of Christian Education within pluralistic societies. The results of the study indicate that the presence of Christian education can make a significant contribution to building a harmonious, diverse society by instilling Christian values such as respect for different lifestyles, rejection of violence and discrimination, and the strengthening of a spirit of unity. Thus, Christian education is expected to serve as an effective means of fostering harmony amidst the diversity of Indonesian society.

Suboptimal waste management has become a serious problem in local communities, even though inorganic waste has high economic potential if managed wisely. In Tegalsari Village, Ambulu Subdistrict, waste management needs to be strengthened through a financial approach. This community service activity aims to empower the economy of Tegalsari Village residents by revitalizing the management of the waste bank so that it provides direct economic value that can increase household income. The implementation of this activity was carried out through a planning phase that included program coordination meetings, the formation and revitalization of the management structure, educational outreach on the economic value of waste, and a partnership collaboration with the Karya Mandiri Jember Central Waste Bank (BSI).

This study examines legal protection for victims of criminal offenses from a victimological perspective, emphasizing the position, rights, and needs of victims within the criminal justice system. Victimology, as a scientific discipline, highlights that victims are not merely objects of crime but subjects who are entitled to protection, restoration, and justice. This research employs a normative juridical method supported by a conceptual and statutory approach to analyze existing legal frameworks governing victim protection. The findings indicate that although legal instruments have provided various forms of protection such as restitution, compensation, and psychological assistance their implementation remains suboptimal due to institutional limitations, lack of awareness, and procedural constraints. From a victimological standpoint, effective protection requires a balanced approach between offender accountability and victim recovery, including recognition of victims' rights, access to justice, and comprehensive rehabilitation. Therefore, strengthening regulations, improving institutional coordination, and adopting a more victim oriented justice system are essential to ensure optimal legal protection for victims of criminal acts.

Land tenure conflicts between indigenous peoples and the state remain a persistent issue in Indonesia. These conflicts arise due to differences between customary law practiced by indigenous communities and the formal legal system enforced by the state. This study aims to analyze the legal recognition of indigenous land rights within the national agrarian law framework, identify the causes of such conflicts, and formulate equitable solutions for their resolution. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings reveal that although legal recognition of indigenous land rights exists in various regulations, its implementation remains weak. Conflicts are primarily caused by overlapping regulations, economic interests, and the lack of formal recognition of customary territories. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, strengthening legal recognition of indigenous peoples, and the development of participatory and socially just dispute resolution mechanisms are essential. In conclusion, the protection of indigenous land rights can be optimized within the national agrarian legal framework through comprehensive legal reform and inclusive governance.

This community service program aims to strengthen the strategic role of Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) as a center for family health education through the innovation of its educational functions. Previously, Posyandu operations in the community tended to be limited to routine basic health services, such as weight monitoring and nutritional status recording, while the crucial aspect of health education remained suboptimal. This limitation has contributed to a lack of public understanding regarding healthy lifestyles and the prevention of chronic diseases or stunting. The methods implemented in this program included problem identification through observation, health socialization and education, specialized training for Posyandu cadres to enhance their communication capacity, and direct mentoring during activity implementation. The results demonstrated a significant increase in family knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Furthermore, Posyandu cadres became more active and skilled in delivering health information communicatively to the community. This program demonstrates that by strengthening its educational function, Posyandu can transform into an effective and sustainable family health learning center, significantly impacting the improvement of community health standards at the frontline level.

Poverty in Indonesia remains an unresolved social problem and poses a structural challenge to the government. Improving the quality of life of vulnerable communities requires deeper intervention. Therefore, to assist and improve the quality of life of vulnerable communities, the government has launched various assistance programs, one of which is the Family Hope Program (PKH). The Family Hope Program (PKH) is present not only to support the community's economy but also encourages behavioral changes in PKH beneficiaries, particularly in the context of children's education, maternal and toddler health, and protection for vulnerable groups. This program is implemented in various areas of Surabaya City, one of which is the Sidotopo Village, Semampir. In this area, there are still underprivileged groups. The PKH program has significantly assisted beneficiaries in the Sidotopo area in improving their socio-economic welfare. The purpose of this evaluation is to describe the implementation of PKH in terms of effectiveness, equity, targeting accuracy, and the impact of program implementation on beneficiaries in the Sidotopo area. This evaluation uses data collection techniques based on observations and interviews with PKH mentors and PKH beneficiaries in the Sidotopo Village, as well as documentation studies. Based on the research results, it is clear that the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Sidotopo has been effective, equitable, and well-targeted in improving the welfare of its residents. This is evident in the decline in poverty rates and increased access to education and healthcare.

This assistance contributes to increased financial efficiency, business stability, and the potential improvement of the economic welfare of business owners. Overall, this assistance has proven effective in supporting the sustainability of MSMEs; therefore, continuous assistance is needed so that business owners can consistently implement more professional business management practices.

Religious culture that is still quite strong in the community is an important capital in the implementation of youth development programs. However, the influence of social media, promiscuity, and the lack of religious activities that are attractive to the younger generation have led to a decrease in adolescents' interest in religious activities in mosques. Therefore, this research aims to form the character of discipline, responsibility, and cooperation in the group through Islamic hadrah art activities. This study uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which is a community empowerment approach that focuses on the strengths and potentials possessed by the community, not on existing shortcomings or problems. In this approach, the community is invited to identify various assets they have, such as human resources, local institutions, cultural values, and social networks that can be used to overcome the problems they face. The results of the study showed that the adolescent participants experienced improved skills in playing hadrah and understanding of religious values. In addition, there has been a change in behavior towards being more disciplined, active, and caring for religious activities in the mosque environment.

This study aims to describe students’ mathematical creative thinking skills through the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL)-based Student Worksheets (LKPD) on the topic of translation via a tessellation project. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach supported by qualitative data in the form of documentation of students’ project outcomes. The research subjects consisted of 20 students divided into 10 groups. Data were collected through the assessment of tessellation projects and documentation of students’ work, which were analyzed based on indicators of mathematical creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results of the study indicate that students were able to generate various ideas in designing tessellation patterns, employ diverse pattern-arrangement strategies, and develop works demonstrating a visual understanding of the concept of translation. Elaboration skills were evident in the development of details, neatness, and refinement of the works, while originality was evident in the variety of motifs and designs produced by each group. Project-based learning provided students with the opportunity to explore ideas, collaborate in groups, and connect mathematical concepts with tangible products. The implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in local curriculum materials through a tessellation project also helps students understand the concept of translation more concretely through activities involving the design and creation of repeating patterns. Overall, this approach facilitates the development of students’ creative mathematical thinking skills regarding the topic of translation and provides a more active, meaningful, and student-centered learning experience.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) plays a crucial role in modern industrial systems by minimizing downtime, reducing maintenance costs, and optimizing asset performance. However, many predictive models operate as “black box” systems, limiting transparency and making it difficult for operators to interpret their outputs. This study aims to integrate Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques with Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction models to improve both accuracy and interpretability. Various machine learning and deep learning approaches, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), are employed to predict RUL using real-time sensor data from rotating machinery. XAI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and attention mechanisms are applied to provide human-understandable explanations of model predictions. The models are evaluated based on accuracy, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and interpretability scores. The results show that XAI-enhanced models outperform traditional approaches in predictive performance while offering greater transparency. These explanations help maintenance engineers better understand the factors influencing predictions, thereby improving decision-making and trust in the system. Nevertheless, the integration of XAI introduces additional computational complexity, which may pose challenges for large-scale industrial implementation. Overall, this study highlights the potential of combining XAI with RUL prediction to develop more reliable, transparent, and effective predictive maintenance solutions.

The Indonesian government in supporting Intellectual Property actors has issued Government Regulation Number 24 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of Law Number 24 of 2019 concerning the Creative Economy As a maximum effort in implementing Government Regulation No. 24 of 2022 concerning the creative economy in helping to strengthen national and international economic development, but the regulation only regulates generally regarding Intellectual property, furthermore it is deemed necessary to have more specific regulations specifically regarding asset quality ratings as collateral which is expected to be not only for financing institutions but can help Intellectual Property assessment institutions, considering that Intellectual Property is an intangible object that makes banks as creditors hesitate to accept Intellectual Property as collateral in financing. The basic reason Intellectual Property Rights can be used as fiduciary collateral because it is included in the law of immaterial objects where one of the characteristics of objects that can be used as debt collateral is objects that have economic value, copyright is also attached to exclusive rights, namely the attachment of these rights to the creator or holder of the copyright he created.  

This study aims to explain the implementation of the three-act structure in scriptwriting for the feature video entitled “Jejak Rasa: Akar dari Tanah Priangan.” The background of this research is based on the tendency of audiovisual representations of cassava that remain partial, focusing only on either traditional or modern aspects without integrating both into a cohesive narrative. This study employs a qualitative approach based on creative practice, where the author acts as a scriptwriter responsible for designing the narrative flow using the three-act structure: set up, confrontation, and resolution. The production process consists of three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production, involving literature research, field observation, interviews with key informants, and the development of visual and audio narratives. The findings indicate that the implementation of the three-act structure successfully creates a systematic narrative that integrates historical, cultural, and modern dimensions of cassava transformation. This structure also effectively builds a coherent dramatic flow and enhances audience emotional engagement. The implications of this study are expected to provide references for academics and practitioners in developing research-based audiovisual scriptwriting, particularly in the context of local culture and gastronomy.
