The increasing number of employees and vehicles at the Head Office of PT Bukit Asam Tbk Tanjung Enim has created a growing demand for adequate parking facilities. Limited parking space tends to encourage the use of on-street parking, which may lead to traffic congestion and reduce the comfort of the office environment. This study aims to analyze parking capacity and provide optimal management recommendations. The research was conducted through a preliminary survey, literature review, collection of primary and secondary data, and descriptive analysis to determine the parking space requirements for each type of vehicle. The results show that the maximum parking duration for cars and motorcycles is 440 minutes, with peak volumes of 142 vehicles/hour for cars and 124 vehicles/hour for motorcycles at 06.00–06.59. The parking index reached 96.52% for cars and 73.33% for motorcycles. The available static capacity is 115 SRP for cars and 210 SRP for motorcycles, while the ideal parking space requirement is 122 SRP for cars and 151 SRP for motorcycles. In conclusion, the current parking capacity is sufficient for motorcycles but insufficient for cars. Therefore, optimization of parking patterns, such as adjusting the parking angle to 90°, is necessary to increase capacity and improve convenience for all employees.

Field Work Practice (PKL) at Tambak Mina Bangkit Bersama (MIBAMA), Karangrejo, Banyuwangi, was conducted from June 26 to August 3, 2024, with the aim of understanding the process of growing Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp in HDPE ponds. Vaname shrimp farming involves pond preparation, seedling stocking, feed management, and water quality monitoring to optimize shrimp growth. Growth monitoring was carried out through sampling, resulting in an Average Daily Growth (ADG) value ranging from 0.41 to 0.71 grams per day. Water quality measurements showed that temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels were still within safe ranges, although several parameters such as salinity, TDS, and ORP required special attention. Partial and total harvesting resulted in an accumulated production of 5.1 tons in this cycle. The use of HDPE ponds proved effective in maintaining the aquaculture environment and supporting production intensification. This study emphasizes the importance of proper water and feed quality management to enhance shrimp productivity and health, while also providing recommendations for continuous monitoring to address stress factors in shrimp during cultivation.

This article is a literature review that examines Paul Ricoeur’s concept of narrative identity and its relevance to education. Ricoeur conceives human identity as a dynamic construction shaped through narrative, namely the reflective interpretation of life experiences within the dimensions of time, social relations, and self-awareness. In this framework, education is not merely understood as a means of knowledge transmission but also as a hermeneutical space where learners construct an understanding of themselves through experience, reflection, and dialogue. Narrative enables students to coherently connect the past, present, and future, while simultaneously cultivating character, responsibility, and empathy. This article highlights the importance of narrative-based learning strategies, such as case studies, autobiographical writing, analysis of literary and historical texts, and project-based learning. Through these approaches, students are encouraged to develop a reflective and ethical identity that is open to diversity. Thus, Ricoeur’s thought provides a strong philosophical foundation for building humanistic character education in which learners are positioned as subjects who grow and transform through their own life stories.

The amendment of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia is a crucial legal and political mechanism within the dynamics of constitutional law. An amendment is understood as an adjustment of constitutional norms to remain relevant with changing times while preserving the state’s fundamental identity. Unlike a constitutional replacement, which is comprehensive and signifies the birth of a new constitutional order, amendments are partial and limited. Article 37 of the 1945 Constitution sets out strict procedures, including requirements for proposal, quorum, and substantive limitations that cannot be altered, namely the form of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This mechanism prevents arbitrary changes and safeguards legal and political stability. The 1999–2002 amendments demonstrate that the Constitution can be improved without disrupting national continuity. Therefore, amendments are viewed as an evolutionary form of constitutional reform, while replacement signifies radical change. This analysis highlights that the amendment procedure of the 1945 Constitution is designed to balance the need for flexibility with constitutional stability in Indonesia.

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.

This study examines youth slang (Jugendsprache) in the film Into the Beat (2020) through semantic and morphological approaches. The background of the research is based on the phenomenon of youth language development, which is dynamic, creative, and rich in socio-cultural meaning, yet often difficult for foreign speakers to understand. Youth language is chosen as the object of study because it reflects identity, group solidarity, and the communicative creativity of young people, and frequently appears in media, particularly films. The theoretical framework refers to experts’ perspectives on the characteristics of youth language, including the use of Anglicisms, abbreviations, metaphorization, and the formation of neologisms. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, with data sources taken from the dialogues and subtitles of the film Into the Beat. The analysis is carried out based on Helmut Henne’s theory of youth language characteristics. The results reveal that youth slang in the film functions not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of emotional expression, lifestyle, and identity construction among German adolescents. Vocabulary such as alter, bro, krass, cool, and scheiße demonstrates creativity in morphological processes, including abbreviation, prefixation, and borrowing from foreign languages. The study concludes that youth slang plays an essential role in shaping characters, inter-character relationships, and the authenticity of the storyline. Furthermore, youth language reflects the evolving cultural and social dynamics of adolescents. This research is expected to contribute to linguistic studies, particularly semantics, and to serve as a valuable resource in German language learning by expanding vocabulary and fostering an understanding of authentic communication patterns among German teenagers.

This study aims to develop an interactive learning medium on the Gimkit platform with the topic of modal verbs at the A1 level. The research method applies a qualitative approach using the model of Richey & Klein (2017), which consists of three stages: (1) planning, (2) development, and (3) evaluation. The data source of this study is the book Grammatik aktiv A1–B1 by Friederike Jin and Ute Voß (2014), Chapter 5, pages 16–18, focusing on the topics: (1) conjugation of modal verbs in the present tense, (2) conjugation of modal verbs in the past tense, and (3) comparison of modal verbs in the present and past tenses. The learning medium was validated by a material expert with a score of 95 and by a media expert with a score of 90; both results fall into the category “very good.” Based on these results, the Gimkit learning medium on the topic of modal verbs is considered suitable and effective for teaching German at the A1 level in senior high schools, both for independent learning and for classroom instruction.

This study explores the discipleship and character of the Samaritan woman as portrayed in the Gospel of John. The background emphasizes that discipleship is not merely about listening to Jesus’ teachings but involves a personal relationship, obedience, and life transformation. The Gospel of John offers a unique perspective by presenting that Christ’s disciples are not limited to men but also include women, as illustrated in the narrative of the Samaritan woman at the well. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, focusing on biblical texts and relevant studies. The findings reveal that the discipleship process of the Samaritan woman demonstrates a progressive transformation: from initial skepticism to faith and recognition of Jesus as the Messiah. This transformation unfolds through three key dimensions: the dialogue on living water, the understanding of true worship, and the testimony shared with her community. The Samaritan woman emerges as a genuine disciple through her faith, courageous witness, and role as Christ’s representative in proclaiming universal salvation. Her notable traits include openness, honesty, curiosity, courage, and willingness to change. The study highlights that the Gospel of John portrays discipleship as inclusive, affirming the role of women as models of faith. Its implications provide theological insight into the equality of disciples in Christ and offer relevance for today’s church in fostering participatory and transformative faith communities.
