Education plays a crucial role in shaping the personality, morals, and spiritual values of students. In the Islamic perspective, education is not solely focused on the mastery of knowledge but also includes the cultivation of noble character, the strengthening of faith, and the enhancement of religiosity as a form of devotion to Allah Swt. Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren), as traditional Islamic educational institutions, have a strategic role in instilling these values through religious activities, the teaching of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), and the habituation of virtuous behavior. Pesantren serve not only as centers of learning but also as institutions for character formation and spiritual development. However, the forces of globalization and modernization bring new challenges in the form of cultural, technological, and informational influences that often conflict with Islamic values. Therefore, pesantren are required to develop adaptive, innovative, and relevant educational strategies that align with contemporary needs without losing their Islamic identity. One effective approach is the implementation of Islamic counseling, a process of psychological and spiritual guidance grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Through this counseling, students are expected to strengthen their faith, enhance their religiosity, and develop moral resilience in facing the dynamics of modern life based on strong Islamic values.

Intestinal parasitic infections caused by non-Soil Transmitted Helminths (non-STH), particularly Enterobius vermicularis, remain a public health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. Transmission does not require soil as a medium but occurs through direct contact, autoinfection, or unclean household environments. In children, infection may cause perianal itching, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and secondary infections due to scratching, which can affect nutritional status, sleep quality, and overall growth and development. This study was conducted in Kupang City, an endemic area of helminthiasis, to determine the prevalence and risk factors of E. vermicularis infection among children aged 1–5 years. A cross-sectional design with total sampling was applied to 30 children living in RT 008/RW 003, Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Tengah District, from February to May 2025. Risk factor data were collected using structured questionnaires covering personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, socioeconomic status, and parental education. Infection was identified using the scotch tape technique and microscopic examination. The results showed a prevalence of 7% (2 out of 30 children), mainly among boys aged ≥4 years, with poor personal hygiene, inadequate sanitation, low economic status, and parental education at elementary school level or below. In conclusion, enterobiasis in children is influenced by a combination of behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Prevention should not rely solely on mass deworming programs but also require continuous health education for parents, improved hygiene practices, and household sanitation.

This research explores how bullying is depicted in the animated film “Jumbo” through the lens of Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzes the denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings embedded within the film’s visual and narrative elements. Through this lens, the film is interpreted not merely as a piece of children's entertainment but as a medium that carries deeper social messages. The central character, Don, is portrayed as physically different from his peers, which becomes a symbol of broader societal rejection and marginalization. His journey reflects the internal and external struggles faced by individuals who do not conform to mainstream standards. Key symbolic components—such as Don’s unusually large physique, his inherited storybook, and the way he interacts with others—highlight themes of courage, empathy, personal identity, and the desire for social inclusion. The film subtly critiques the normalization of bullying and challenges dominant myths that suggest acceptance and success are only for those who meet certain physical or social norms. Through its narrative, Jumbo promotes values of diversity and encourages viewers, especially young audiences, to question unjust stereotypes and embrace empathy. By decoding the semiotic messages in Jumbo, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how animated films can serve as powerful educational tools. They can raise awareness about social issues, influence attitudes, and inspire critical reflection, especially when they employ symbolism that resonates with real-life experiences. This research ultimately highlights the potential of animation as a medium for moral and social education beyond its entertainment function.

This study examines the strategic role of euphemism in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, arguing that it was instrumental not only in managing collective grief but also in preserving the nation’s symbolic dignity. While much scholarship on the Gettysburg Address has concentrated on rhetorical artistry or historical significance (Wills, 1992; White, 2009), relatively few have analyzed it through the combined lens of sociolinguistics, specifically euphemism and face-work. Drawing on Allan and Burridge’s (2006) framework of euphemism and Goffman’s (1955) theory of face, this paper situates Lincoln’s speech within the broader sociolinguistic processes of healing, unity, and image restoration. Through a qualitative textual analysis, the study identifies three dominant euphemistic strategies: sanctification of sacrifice through sacred language, collectivization through inclusive pronouns, and redefinition of crisis as a “new birth of freedom.” These strategies operated at semantic, pragmatic, and sociopolitical levels to protect national face, transform perceptions of the Civil War, and realign public consciousness toward unity and resilience. Beyond historical interpretation, this research highlights the relevance of euphemism and face-work in contemporary political communication. Leaders in modern contextsfrom economic crises to global pandemics continue to rely on euphemistic  framing to manage uncertainty and inspire solidarity. By revisiting Lincoln’s address through this sociolinguistic perspective, the study demonstrates how language can simultaneously mitigate trauma, construct identity, and articulate a hopeful collective future.

High-rise buildings such as the World Trade Center Jakarta generally have high inductive electrical loads, so that their reactive power consumption is large and the power factor decreases below the SPLN standard (≤0.85), resulting in increased power losses and operational costs. This study aims to measure the power factor value before and after repairing the detuned reactor and capacitor on the capacitor bank panel, compare the results of field measurements with ETAP simulations, and assess the feasibility of the installed capacitor bank and determine the difference in the results of the ETAP simulation between measurements and load calculations on the World Trade Center building. The methods used include literature review, field observations on the LVMDP panel, MCC and capacitor bank, discussions with supervisors, data collection of current, voltage, kW, kVAR, kVA and cos φ using Lovato DCRG8 and ampere clamp, and load simulation using ETAP software. The results show that the cosφ value increased from 0.70 to 0.95 (an increase of 35.71%), the compensated reactive power reached 204 kVAR (Lovato), 282.6 kVAR (tang ampere), and 415 kVAR (ETAP simulation), with a power factor or cosφ = 0.95. In conclusion, the replacement of detuned reactors and capacitors effectively improves the power factor in the WTC Jakarta Building, reduces reactive loads, and the ETAP simulation results are consistent with field measurements, so that the capacitor bank installed in the WTC building is declared effective in reducing reactive currents, thereby reducing kVAR, kVA loads and improving the efficiency of the electrical system distribution for better energy management

Coal is an important energy source that is still widely used in industry, especially the power generation industry, because of its high energy content. However, in the process of handling and storage, coal has the characteristic of being easily oxidized, This oxidation process, if it occurs continuously, can cause internal heat accumulation which eventually triggers spontaneous combustion. This study aims to analyze changes in coal quality before and after spontaneous combustionto find out how spontaneous combustionaffects coal quality in stockpiles. The research method used is a quantitative method where the data from laboratory tests on coal quality before and after spontaneous combustionis analyzed, the comparison of coal quality in stockpile 10 before and after spontaneous combustionis then graphed to see changes in the quality of each parameter. Based on the results of the analysis of changes in coal quality before and after spontaneous combustion, there were significant changes to several coal quality parameters, namely Total Moisture which was originally from 7.06% to 5.50% (down by 1.56%), Moisture which was originally 3.91% to 3.22% (down by 0.69%), Ash Content which was originally 8.84% to 14.67% (up by 5.83%), Volatile Matter which was originally 39.77% to 35.10% (down by 4.67%),  Fixed Carbon from 47.48% to 47.01% (down by 0.47%), Sulphur from 0.55% to 0.46% (down by 0.9%), and Calorific value decreased from 6,921 to 6,289 kcal/kg (down by 632 kcal/kg). This decrease in quality has a direct effect on the selling value and efficiency of coal combustion. The existence of an analysis of changes in coal quality due to spontaneous combustioncan help companies to find out how much of an impact losses can be caused by the occurrence of spontaneous combustion. By considering the potential losses due to spontaneous combustion, the company will make efforts to prevent the occurrence of spontaneous combustion in the future to minimize the losses caused.

Waste candlenut shells are one type of biomass that has significant potential to be developed as an alternative energy source, particularly in the form of briquettes. Candlenut shells, which are typically discarded as agricultural waste, contain combustible material that can be transformed into solid fuel. However, the traditional briquette molding process is still done manually, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and often results in inconsistent briquette shapes and density. This study aims to design and develop a briquette molding machine specifically for processing candlenut shell waste, with the goal of improving both production efficiency and the quality of the briquettes produced. The research methodology includes several stages: mechanical design, selection of appropriate materials, fabrication of machine components, assembly, and performance testing of the machine. The resulting machine utilizes a screw conveyor compression system powered by a 5.5 HP petrol engine. It features a cylindrical mold with a 40 mm diameter to shape the briquettes uniformly. During the performance test, the machine demonstrated a maximum production capacity of 14.3 kg per hour, with an average processing time of 24 minutes and a briquette yield reaching up to 85%. The findings indicate that the machine can significantly streamline the briquette production process while maintaining product consistency and quality. This briquette molding machine is particularly suitable for household and small-scale industries aiming to utilize renewable energy sources and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The use of this machine also supports environmental sustainability by converting agricultural waste into a usable energy product.

Drug abuse among adolescents in Jayapura City is a pressing issue with significant repercussions for health, society, and the future of younger generations. Due to Jayapura's strategic position as a border city with Papua New Guinea, it faces a heightened risk of cross-border drug trafficking, making it particularly vulnerable. This study explores the various factors contributing to the rise in drug abuse among adolescents, including individual, family, and peer group dynamics, socio-economic conditions, weak legal enforcement, and the influence of globalization. The findings suggest that a multifaceted approach is essential in addressing the problem. Repressive measures alone are insufficient, and should be complemented by preventive, rehabilitative, and educational strategies. Such approaches must emphasize child protection principles and ensure justice that is both substantive and forward-thinking. Progressive and responsive legal frameworks, aligned with the goals of criminal punishment, are necessary to effectively combat drug abuse in Jayapura. Moreover, these frameworks should prioritize adolescent recovery, recognizing that these individuals are the future of the nation.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of broiler concentrate-based rations combined with corn and rice bran on the performance of native chickens. A total of four dietary treatments were formulated, namely P1 (100% broiler concentrate), P2 (75% broiler concentrate, 10% corn, 15% rice bran), P3 (50% broiler concentrate, 30% corn, 20% rice bran), and P4 (25% broiler concentrate, 55% corn, 20% rice bran). The parameters observed included feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significant differences among treatments were further tested with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that dietary treatments significantly affected the growth performance of native chickens (P<0.05). Chickens fed diets with higher proportions of broiler concentrate (P1 and P2) exhibited better body weight gain and more efficient feed conversion compared to those receiving lower concentrate levels (P3 and P4). In contrast, increasing corn and rice bran levels tended to increase feed intake but did not proportionally improve body weight gain, resulting in poorer FCR. It can be concluded that native chickens perform optimally when fed rations containing at least 75% broiler concentrate, which provides a balance between growth and feed efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultivated in a concrete pond system in Dusun IV, Fadoro Lasara Village, Gunungsitoli City. The concrete pond system was chosen for its advantages in land efficiency, ease of management, and ability to maintain stable water quality. The research method employed a quantitative experimental approach over 60 days, with 200 Nile tilapia as the study subjects. The parameters observed included absolute weight and length gain, specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and survival rate (SR). The results showed that the average weight of the fish increased from 5.12 grams to 98.46 grams, with a length increase of 12.5 cm. The SGR was recorded at 4.29% per day, FCR at 1.38, and SR at 96.5%. These results indicate that the concrete pond system can support optimal tilapia growth. This study recommends the application of concrete ponds as an efficient aquaculture alternative, particularly in areas with limited land and resources. This system has proven to be adaptive to local conditions and contributes to increased productivity and income for aquaculture farmers.
