This research aims to understand how the meaning of loss is constructed in the lyrics of the song “Cutting My Fingers Off” by Turnover, using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic approach. The song was chosen as the object of study because it expresses the emotion of loss intensely through poetic and emotional lyrical symbols. According to Saussure’s theory, meaning is formed through the relationship between the signifier and the signified, where words in the lyrics function as signs that carry deep meaning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with interview, textual analysis techniques, supported by literature review and observation of listener Turnover’s “Cutting My Fingers Off”. The analysis involves breaking down each verse to identify signifiers and signifieds that shape the emotional meaning of loss. The findings show that the lyrics reflect not only physical loss but also psychological experiences such as alienation, regret, and severed emotional attachment. Symbols like “Cutting My Fingers Off” form a visual metaphor for deep emotional pain. This research concludes that music particularly lyrics is an effective medium of symbolic communication to convey personal experiences. “Cutting My Fingers Off” successfully constructs a complex meaning of loss that resonates personally with its listeners.

This study aims to identify five basic principles of ecotourism, namely conservation, education, recreation, economy, and community participation in Turgo-Merapi Tourism Village using qualitative methods. Primary data was obtained through uninvolved observation and semi-structured interviews with the community, tourism village managers, and actors of ecotourism activities in Turgo-Merapi Tourism Village. Secondary data was obtained from the study of relevant documents and data provided by the tourist village manager in the form of documentation of ecotourism activities.

To address these operational issues and substantially enhance user satisfaction, this research proposes the development and implementation of an innovative Web-Based Food Ordering System. This digital platform allows customers to place orders entirely online, effectively eliminating the need for physical queuing. The system's core functionality is the realtime monitoring of order status and queue position, providing transparent information directly to the customer's device. For canteen management, the application offers a crucial tool for integrated and structured order handling, ensuring staff can prepare meals more accurately and promptly. By transforming the ordering process into a streamlined digital workflow, the system is expected to accelerate the service cycle, minimize unnecessary crowding, and substantially improve customer satisfaction through a modernized, well-organized, and highly efficient experience. This initiative represents a significant step toward smarter and more responsive food service operations.

In Indonesia, waqf generally takes the form of land that is used for mosques, prayer rooms, schools, cemeteries and homes for orphans, although the object of waqf is not limited to land alone. A clear waqf certificate is important to provide legal certainty regarding the ownership and use of waqf land, because without this certainty, ownership or management disputes could hamper the use of waqf assets for the public interest. Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf regulates waqf as a concrete effort to deal with waqf problems, but many people have not officially registered waqf land, which has the potential to cause conflict in the future. An example is the case that occurred at the Jami Nurul Islam Mosque, which is located in Koja, North Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. This research will discuss the legal consequences of the absence of a waqf pledge deed and resolving waqf land disputes through alternative methods, using normative legal research Keywords : Waqf, Waqf Disputes, Alternative Methods.

This artwork is a musical expression that evokes a childlike atmosphere, depicting the innocence, joy, and imagination of childhood that is often forgotten over time. The creation of this work begins with two popular Indonesian children’s songs, which serve as the main source of inspiration for the piece titled Childhood. These two songs were then developed and rearranged with a creative approach, resulting in a new form that retains the basic character of the children's songs but is packaged in a more modern and artistic musical atmosphere. This work uses two main musical patterns: the Waltz, which emphasizes softness, harmony, and romance, and the Swing, which brings energy, dynamics, and the cheerfulness typical of children's music. The fusion of these two patterns is done by considering elements such as tempo, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics to create a communicative and expressive work. Through Childhood, it is hoped that this piece will serve as a reflection of childhood memories, a nostalgic medium for the listeners, and an effort to preserve and revitalize Indonesian children's songs so that they remain relevant and loved across generations.
