Indonesian EFL senior high school students. Traditional EFL instruction often emphasizes lower-order cognitive skills, limiting students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and create in English. This research explored student experiences with PBL and its impact on HOTS development. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five 11th-grade students participating in environmental-themed PBL activities. Thematic analysis identified patterns in student experiences and perceptions. Findings reveal that students perceive PBL as significantly more engaging than traditional instruction, fostering enhanced motivation, deeper understanding, and collaborative competencies. Students demonstrated active engagement in higher-order cognitive processes through research activities, critical discussions, and creative project development. Collaborative dimensions particularly enhanced analytical and evaluative thinking as students examined diverse perspectives. Implementation challenges emerged, including time management difficulties, group dynamics issues, resource limitations, and presentation anxiety. These challenges highlight PBL's complexity and the need for comprehensive support systems. The study concludes that while PBL effectively promotes HOTS development in EFL contexts, successful implementation requires systematic support, including project management instruction, collaborative skills development, adequate technological resources, and continuous professional development for educators.  

This study aims to examine the process of enacting Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the Capital City, which was completed in a relatively short period of only 42 days. The main focus of this research is to assess whether the legislative process was in accordance with the principles of proper law-making as stipulated in Law Number 12 of 2011 on the Formation of Laws and Regulations. This study employs a normative legal research method with a literature-based approach, relying on the analysis of legislation, legal literature, and relevant official documents. The findings indicate that the drafting process of the Capital City Law was conducted hastily and did not fully comply with the applicable provisions. This is reflected in the limited public participation, the lack of transparency in the deliberation, and the absence of democratic principles that should guide the law-making process. The fact that the bill was deliberated in only 42 days demonstrates a legislative process that was neither ideal nor substantive in nature. Moreover, the accelerated process tends to reflect a conservative and elitist character, in which the aspirations of the wider community were insufficiently accommodated. In conclusion, the enactment of Law Number 3 of 2022 cannot be considered ideal from the perspective of constitutional law or democratic principles. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and reform legislative mechanisms to ensure that future law-making processes are more participatory, transparent, and truly reflective of the interests of the people.

 National insight is an important foundation in the character development of Indonesia's young generation, especially in facing the challenges of globalization, digitalization, and changing values ​​among adolescents. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to strengthen national insight for new students of SMAN 46 Jakarta through a contextual approach relevant to the conditions of today's youth. The contextual approach was chosen because it can help students understand the material by connecting the knowledge learned with their daily experiences, so that the learning process becomes more meaningful, easier to understand, and less abstract (Aminah et al., 2022; Parhan & Sukaenah, 2020). The methods used in this program include interactive counseling, group discussions, and reflections supported by audiovisual media close to students' daily lives, such as short videos, digital illustrations, and case simulations. This activity was held on July 14–16, 2025, as part of the School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS) and was attended by 450 new students in grade X. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' understanding of the concept of national insight from a practical and contextual perspective, with a focus on the values ​​of empathy, solidarity, mutual cooperation, anti-bullying, and positive creativity. Furthermore, this program succeeded in changing the paradigm of students from an understanding of national insight that initially tended to be normative and abstract to being more applicable in everyday life. This proves that strengthening national insight through a contextual approach can be an effective strategy in forming a young generation that is characterful, adaptive, and has social awareness.

A partnership agreement is a form of business collaboration, either directly or indirectly, that is established based on the principles of mutual need, mutual trust, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit. Such partnerships generally involve Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) working with larger businesses in order to create a fairer and more sustainable business relationship. However, in practice, the implementation of partnership agreements often does not reflect these fundamental principles. This is also evident in the nucleus-plasma scheme within the palm oil plantation sector, where the relationship between the nucleus companies and plasma farmers tends to show an imbalance of bargaining power. This study aims to examine the application of partnership principles in the implementation of nucleus-plasma agreements in palm oil plantations, viewed from the perspective of prevailing legislation, particularly the Law on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME Law). The findings indicate that the application of partnership principles has not yet been fully implemented consistently. The partnership relationship remains unequal and is largely dominated by the nucleus companies, creating a sense of injustice for plasma farmers. In terms of supervision, the Indonesian Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) plays a crucial role in ensuring that partnership agreements are carried out in line with these principles. One of the measures taken is monitoring the implementation of behavioral change commitments by business actors. KPPU ensures that nucleus companies do not abuse their dominant position and continue to provide fair opportunities for plasma farmers. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of strengthening oversight and enforcing regulations so that the objectives of nucleus-plasma partnerships in palm oil plantations can truly be realized in accordance with the principles mandated by law.

Household waste management, especially organic waste, remains a major problem in many regions, including Pematang Guntung Village, Teluk Mengkudu District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Improperly managed organic waste has the potential to cause unpleasant odors, environmental pollution, and become a source of disease. Therefore, an appropriate and environmentally friendly solution is needed to overcome this issue. This study aims to examine how the application of the biopore method can serve as a strategy to create a cleaner environment while simultaneously improving soil fertility. The research method used was qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to illustrate the implementation of biopores in the community. The results showed that the application of biopores was able to significantly reduce the volume of household organic waste. Organic waste placed into biopore holes naturally decomposed into compost, which is beneficial as an environmentally friendly fertilizer. In addition, biopores improved soil water absorption capacity, which helps reduce waterlogging during the rainy season and maintain soil moisture. From a social perspective, biopores encouraged the development of new awareness among community members regarding the importance of waste management. This was demonstrated by the active participation of residents in creating, utilizing, and maintaining biopore holes sustainably. Thus, biopores function not only as a technical solution for organic waste management but also as an environmental education tool that strengthens community collaboration in maintaining cleanliness and enhancing soil fertility in their area.

In the final phase of their studies, students often experience intense psychological pressure, especially when writing their final thesis. If this academic stress is not managed optimally, it can cause mental health problems, reduce internal motivation, and lead to despair in the context of education. Hardiness personality is one of the psychological characteristics that is believed to play a crucial role in dealing with such situations. Hardiness encompasses the dimensions of control, commitment, and the ability to see challenges as opportunities, thereby encouraging individuals to persevere in the face of external pressures. This study focuses on the relationship between hardiness personality and the level of stress experienced by final-year students of the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program at Abulyatama University while writing scientific papers. This study used a correlational quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 63 students selected through proportional random sampling. The Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS) was used to measure hardiness, while the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) was used to assess stress levels. Data collection took place from April 26 to May 8, 2025. To obtain valid results, data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The research findings show a significant negative correlation between hardiness personality and stress levels in the process of writing scientific papers (p=0.004; p<0.05). Students who show high levels of hardiness tend to experience lower stress during the preparation of scientific papers, while those with low hardiness are more vulnerable to high academic pressure. Based on these results, it can be concluded that increasing hardiness in students is very important as a strategy for dealing with academic demands, especially in writing scientific papers. Thus, students are expected to be able to strengthen their self-control, commitment to the learning process, and positive perspective towards various challenges.

Perfectionism is a personality trait that reflects high standards to be perfect, but at excessive levels. The feeling of perfectionism leads to students' mental health. One of the factors influencing perfectionism is the fear of negative evaluation, which is the fear of negative judgments from others. This study aims to investigate the correlation between fear of negative evaluation and perfectionism in students of the Diploma III Nursing Study Program at Universitas Abulyatama. The research is conducted from April 26th to May 9th, 2025. This study is a correlational quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 554 students. Of 85 respondents chosen as the sample, who were selected using a proportional random sampling technique. The data was gathered by using the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation (BFNE) questionnaire to measure Fear of Negative Evaluation and the Perfectionism Inventory (PI) to measure perfectionism. Then, the data was analyzed by using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results prove that off out 85 respondents, the majority of students who were in the medium category of Fear of Negative evaluation were 63 respondents (74.1%), high category of fear of negative evaluation were 22 respondents (25,9%), medium category of perfectionism were 54 respondents (63,5%) and, high category of perfectionism were 31 respondents (36,5%). The result of the Chi-Square test indicates a p-value = 0,005. It can be concluded that there is a correlation between fear of negative evaluation and perfectionism among the students of the Diploma III Nursing Study Program at Universitas Abulyatama. This study is expected to serve as a reference for students and educational institutions in providing support for mental health and the development of students' character. By addressing fear of negative evaluation, universities can help students build healthier perspectives, improve self-acceptance, and balance high achievement with psychological well-being.

This study employs a qualitative library research method with the aim of analyzing fiqh muamalah in the practice of online buying and selling transactions from the perspective of Islamic law and sharia. The development of digital technology has given rise to various new models of transactions that require Islamic law to remain adaptive and relevant. Online trade is one form of contemporary muamalah that raises several issues, such as the validity of contracts, price transparency, clarity of goods, and the potential for fraud. In fiqh muamalah, the validity of a sale and purchase contract is determined by the fulfillment of its pillars and conditions, namely the presence of contracting parties, a clearly defined object of transaction, and a legitimate agreement. The findings indicate that online buying and selling transactions are valid as long as they comply with sharia principles such as justice, transparency of information, clarity of goods, and the absence of gharar (uncertainty), maysir (gambling), or riba (usury). Thus, Islamic law does not reject technological innovation as long as the substance of the contract remains in line with sharia. This research emphasizes that fiqh muamalah is capable of providing practical and relevant solutions in addressing the challenges of the modern digital economy.  

The development of information technology brings significant changes in the business world, one of which is through the Shopee affiliate marketer program that provides opportunities for individuals to earn income through commissions from product sales. However, the tax practice of affiliate marketer income still requires in-depth study, especially in the perspective of tax law and Islamic law. The main problem in this research is how the Income Tax (PPh) payment mechanism for Shopee affiliate marketers and its compliance with the provisions of taxation law and the principles of Islamic law. This research aims to find out and analyze 1) To find out the percentage of PPh for shopee affiliate marketers in the perspective of tax law and Islamic law. 2) To know how to pay PPh for affiliate marker shopee in the perspective of tax law and Islamic law. The research method used is a legal sociology approach with a type of empirical legal research. Data is collected through observation, interview, and documentation of Shopee affiliates and sellers, and analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that: 1) the percentage of PPh of shopee affiliate marketers is the commission received by Shopee affiliates, which is the object of PPh Article 21 and is subject to a progressive tax rate according to Government Regulation No. 58 Year 2023, based on the taxation of 50% of the total gross commission. The tax rate starts from 5% for income up to Rp60 million and increases according to the income layer. 2) The payment method of PPh affiliate marketer shopee is that Shopee deducts and deposits taxes automatically before the affiliate receives the commission, and requires the inclusion of NPWP so that the tax rate is lower. In the perspective of Islamic law, the obligation to pay taxes (dharibah) is recognized as long as it is managed fairly and used for public benefit, and does not burden the community. In conclusion, the practice of paying PPh affiliate marketer Shopee is in accordance with the provisions of the applicable tax law and can be accepted from the perspective of Islamic law as a form of contribution to the welfare of the community.

This study aims to examine the influence of product quality, price, and promotion on consumer purchase decisions of Compass shoes through the Shopee application in South Jakarta. The research was motivated by the rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia, particularly among urban consumers who are digitally literate and highly responsive to marketing stimuli. A total of 100 respondents were selected using a non-probability sampling method with an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measured on a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 22. The findings reveal that product quality, price, and promotion each have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Product quality was identified as a key determinant that enhances consumer trust through durability, comfort, and authentic design, while price competitiveness supports perceived fairness and affordability in a highly competitive digital marketplace. Promotion emerged as the strongest factor, demonstrating the effectiveness of creative digital campaigns, influencer collaborations, and flash sale programs in stimulating consumer interest and driving purchases. These results highlight the importance of integrating product excellence with strategic pricing and innovative promotional activities to influence purchase behavior, especially among Gen Z and millennial consumers. From a theoretical perspective, this study enriches the literature on digital marketing and consumer behavior in the context of local brands competing in online marketplaces. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for Compass and other local SMEs to formulate effective marketing strategies that align with consumer expectations and strengthen competitiveness in the dynamic e-commerce ecosystem.

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the influence of digital transaction methods on the control mechanisms of cash revenue at the Grand Hyatt Bali Hotel. The study applies a qualitative descriptive design, where information is gathered through interviews, field observations, and the review of supporting documents, including transcripts of discussions. The findings reveal that digital payments at the Grand Hyatt Bali provide convenience to guests in conducting transactions such as transaction speed, recording accuracy, and ease in the verification process. However, the use of digital payments also has a negative impact where digital cash receipts are recorded in the accounts receivable section requiring many supporting documents making it appear less optimal and less functional and highly dependent on the availability and stability of the internet network connection. From an internal control perspective, digital payments help improve transparency and accuracy in cash recording processes. The risk of miscalculations or data manipulation is reduced because transaction evidence is readily available digitally, in the form of sales slips, system notifications, and account statements. The mechanism of internal supervision regarding cash inflows at Grand Hyatt Bali Hotel based on COSO consists of several components, namely the organizational climate, monitoring practices, hazard analysis, exchange of insights and knowledge, and supervision. Overall, the implementation of internal controls has been carried out by all staff, however, the implementation is still not optimal related to the collection of documents that are still late, this is caused by staff knowledge about the documents required when digital payments are still not executed according to the procedures outlined in the SOP.

Sustainable food security is a strategic issue in rural development that demands a comprehensive approach based on local communities. This community service activity aims to provide socialization and education about sustainable food security through a socio-economic phenomenological approach, focusing on the role of farmer housewives in Pondidaha Village, Konawe Regency. The implementation methods included educational lectures, focus group discussions (FGDs), field visits, and hands-on practice on sustainable food management, involving 20 farmer housewife respondents. The results showed that 80% of participants gained an adequate understanding of the concept of sustainable food security, local food diversification strategies, and an active role in improving family welfare through strengthening socio-economic capacity. The main challenges identified include limited access to resources, the dual role of housewives, and seasonal income instability. The solutions implemented include sustainable agriculture management training, food diversification counseling, and increased local market access. The socio-economic phenomenological approach provides a perspective that the life experiences, cultural values, and habits of farmer housewives are key elements in the success of food security programs at the community level. This activity contributes to increasing public awareness, skills, and participation in realizing sustainable food security, as well as strengthening the role of women in rural development based on local wisdom. This result is expected to be a model of community empowerment that can be replicated in other rural areas with similar characteristics.

Marketing activities of limited liability companies (LLC) in Indonesia are not merely business strategies but also legal activities that entail juridical consequences. The increasingly complex dynamics of modern marketing, including digital marketing, e-commerce, and the utilization of consumer personal data, demonstrate that marketing activities cannot be separated from business law regulations, whether related to consumer protection, fair competition, electronic information, or personal data protection. Marketing by LLC in Indonesia is regulated by various laws aimed at creating fair, transparent transactions while avoiding practices that could harm consumers. From a business law perspective, marketing in Indonesia, especially within limited liability companies, plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of businesses that benefit not only the company but also the wider society, including consumers. Marketing activities by LLC must consistently adhere to the principles of law, including consumer protection and the obligation to ensure transparency in every promotional activity or advertisement. This study employs a normative juridical method with both statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis is conducted qualitatively through systematic and teleological legal interpretation, supported by secondary legal materials such as academic literature and recent scholarly articles on business law and marketing. The findings reveal that marketing activities of limited liability companies are closely intertwined with business law, as all contracts, promotions, and marketing strategies constitute legal acts that must adhere to the principles of honesty, transparency, and fair competition. Revenue growth through effective marketing can only be achieved sustainably if it is designed in accordance with the principles of good corporate governance and legal compliance. Thus, marketing in the perspective of business law functions not only as a commercial tool but also as an instrument for creating legitimate, ethical, and equitable value for both the company and society.

The skincare industry is growing very rapidly along with increasing public awareness of the importance of proper skin care. However, in marketing their products, many business actors make exaggerated claims regarding product benefits that are often not supported by facts or scientific evidence. The study aims to analyze the application of consumer legal protection in overclaiming actions carried out by business actors on skincare products from the perspective of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. The research method applied is the normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. In this study, the practice of overclaiming carried out by business actors on skincare products is contrary to applicable legal provisions, namely Articles 8 and 10 of the Consumer Protection Law. These articles prohibit business actors from providing misleading information about a product and violate consumer rights as defined in Article 4 of the Consumer Protection Law. Although normatively the law has provided sufficient protection for consumers, its implementation in the field still faces many challenges. Supervision from the government and related institutions such as the BPOM is very necessary to ensure business actors' compliance with applicable regulations. Firm and consistent law enforcement is also needed to make business actors more responsible in providing information to consumers and to foster healthy and ethical skincare industry climate.

This study aims to reveal the representation of adolescents’ emotional crisis in the music video 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) by the South Korean boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Using Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach, the research analyzes the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings of the visual elements presented in the music video. The main focus is on how emotional crises such as loneliness, instability, alienation, and inner escape are represented through visual symbols such as a dark and messy room, a burning car, and a character standing alone in an open field. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a critical paradigm, analyzing eight key scenes in the music video that most strongly depict emotional struggles. The scenes were selected based on their symbolic intensity and relevance to adolescent psychological issues. Data analysis was conducted by interpreting visual signs through Barthes’ concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings reveal that the music video symbolically narrates the psychological struggles of adolescents who are not only physically isolated but also emotionally detached. The visual symbols construct new meanings that represent the social reality of modern youth, burdened by environmental pressures, societal expectations, and the quest for self-identity. Through the myths it creates, the music video functions not only as a medium of entertainment but also as a reflection and critique of adolescents’ psychological vulnerability. Thus, this study contributes to the understanding of emotional representation in popular media, particularly in audio-visual forms such as music videos, while enriching perspectives on how media constructs the narrative of adolescent emotional crises.

The Desa Bersinar (Drug Clean Village) program is a strategic initiative designed to prevent and eradicate drug abuse and illicit trafficking (P4GN) at the village level through the active involvement of both the village government and the community. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Desa Bersinar program in Pantai Cermin Kiri Village, Serdang Bedagai Regency, an area recognized as drug-prone due to its coastal geographical conditions and its vulnerability to illicit distribution routes. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data gathered through direct observation, in-depth interviews with the program coordinator, six implementing members, program beneficiaries, and two public informants. Additional data were obtained from documentation and relevant literature to provide a more comprehensive perspective. Data analysis was conducted through three stages: reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, ensuring systematic interpretation of findings. The results indicate that the Desa Bersinar program in Pantai Cermin Kiri Village has successfully implemented two of the three indicators outlined in David C. Korten’s theory of successful program implementation, specifically program elements and implementing organizational elements. These include clear structures of coordination, division of responsibilities, and collaboration among stakeholders. However, the third indicator—supportive environmental elements—has not been fully realized. Challenges include limited resources, lack of sustainable community participation, and insufficient external support from higher levels of government. Overall, the program demonstrates significant progress in combating drug-related issues, but its sustainability requires stronger environmental support, broader community empowerment, and multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure long-term effectiveness.

This study aims to analyze the representation of national values and friendship in the film Sekawan Limo using Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. The film was selected because it combines horror elements with strong local cultural nuances, making it interesting to examine from the perspectives of visual communication, culture, and social values. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with primary data drawn from scenes, dialogues, visual symbols, and narratives within the film. The analysis was conducted through Barthes’ three levels of semiotics: denotation, connotation, and myth. At the denotative level, the film presents visual and verbal signs depicting character interactions and the cultural background of society. At the connotative level, these signs convey deeper meanings related to national values, such as respect for local culture, the importance of unity, and love for the homeland. Meanwhile, friendship values are reflected through solidarity, empathy, mutual support, and sacrifice among the main characters as they face conflicts together. At the myth level, the film illustrates how popular culture can serve as a medium for delivering moral and ideological messages, particularly the importance of preserving national identity while fostering strong bonds of friendship. The findings highlight that local films function not only as entertainment but also as an effective communication medium to convey national and social values to a broader audience. Thus, Sekawan Limo demonstrates that film plays a strategic role in strengthening cultural awareness while instilling moral values.

This study investigates the meanings associated with the song “Scaredy Cat” by Ian DPR, focusing on connotative and denotative aspects through a semantic perspective. Using qualitative research methods, this work builds on existing research related to figurative language. The findings highlight the complex interaction between the song's literal meaning and its deeper emotional implications, which collectively enhance its impact. Denotative aspects provide a clear understanding of the songwriter's experience, while connotative elements invite deeper engagement with themes of fear, anxiety, and vulnerability. This research reveals that figurative language, such as metaphors and imagery, contributes to the layered interpretation of songs. This complexity not only strengthens the emotional bond between the artist and the audience but also encourages listeners to reflect on their own feelings and experiences. The importance of language in music as a means of expressing human emotions is emphasized. By combining empathetic language and figurative language, songwriters can create a sense of release and emotional connection. The results align with previous research on the importance of figurative language in enhancing lyrical meaning and emotional resonance. Further research is recommended to explore the relationship between semantics and emotional expression across various music genres.
