This study explores the use of slang in the first episode of Season 1 of the television series Ginny & Georgia, focusing on identifying the types of slang employed by the characters and interpreting their meanings within conversational contexts. The research applies a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing Allan and Burridge’s (2006) theory to categorize slang types and Leech’s (1981) theory of meaning to analyze their meanings. The analysis reveals five categories of slang: Fresh and Creative, Flippant, Imitative, Acronyms, and Clipping, with Flippant slang emerging as the most frequently used. Each slang term is examined for its contextual meaning, uncovering various types of meanings such as Conceptual, Connotative, Social, Affective, and Reflective Meanings. Based on the findings, Affective Meaning appears most prominently, reflecting the characters’ emotional tones and interpersonal dynamics. While some types of meanings like Collocative and Thematic Meaning were absent, the findings underscore how slang in the series operates beyond casual speech, serving as a linguistic tool to express identity, emotion, and cultural nuance.

The article discusses about history and development of two main Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools and madrasahs are well-known educational institutions in the Islamic tradition. Islamic boarding schools, in particular, have existed as traditional institutions since the early period of Islam's spread throughout the Indonesian archipelago, with a dormitory-based education system and teaching of yellow books. Meanwhile, madrasahs emerged as a response to the need for more systematic and structured Islamic education, especially during the period of Islamic renewal and colonialism. Through a historical-descriptive approach. This paper examines the developmental trajectories and growth dynamics of the two institutions, as well as their important roles in shaping the identity and direction of Islamic education in Indonesia. The findings indicate that, despite differences in their educational approaches and systems, Islamic boarding schools and madrasahs function complementarily in fulfilling the roles of religious and social education within the community.

From past to present, masculinity has continuously shaped how men are expected to behave in society, especially in adolescence. The television series Adolescence highlights these expectations by portraying different male characters in their daily interactions, reflecting how masculinity operates in real life. This study aims to explore the types of masculinity displayed in the series based on R.W. Connell’s theory (2005), which classifies masculinity into hegemonic, complicit, subordinate, and marginalized types. The research applies a qualitative descriptive method to examine social realities through selected dialogues and scenes. The findings reveal that hegemonic masculinity (64%) is the most frequently represented form, where dominance, toughness, and emotional restraint are highlighted as masculine ideals. Subordinate masculinity (27%) follows, showing that expressions such as emotional openness or queerness are still viewed as less masculine. Marginalized masculinity (9%) appears in contexts involving race and class, while complicit masculinity (5%) is rarely shown, suggesting that most characters either fully embody or struggle against dominant norms. The data shows how the media continues to uphold hegemonic masculinity while only subtly acknowledging its alternatives, offering insight into the gender dynamics experienced by teenage boys today.  

Regional tourism development is a crucial strategy for driving local economic growth and preserving cultural heritage. However, field conditions often reveal that policy implementation does not always proceed optimally. The Sekarsari Bathing Area in Mojokerto City is one of the tourism sites targeted by development policies, yet it has not demonstrated significant impact on community welfare or tourism attractiveness. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of regional tourism development policies at the Sekarsari site using William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation theory, which includes six criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis from various stakeholders such as the tourism office, site managers, local businesses, and community members. The research instruments were developed flexibly and iteratively according to field dynamics. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing in an interactive manner. The findings reveal that the tourism development policy at Sekarsari has not yet yielded optimal outcomes. The main weaknesses lie in the lack of community participation, uneven distribution of economic benefits, and limited innovation and promotion. Although there have been improvements in basic infrastructure and a modest increase in visitor numbers, the policy has not been fully responsive to local needs. In conclusion, the current policy does not fully meet Dunn’s six evaluation criteria and requires revisions in both strategic planning and technical implementation. This study recommends that future tourism policies be more community-based, inclusive, and adaptive to local contexts. For future research, a mixed-methods approach involving quantitative and geospatial analysis is suggested to strengthen comprehensive evaluative evidence.    

This article discusses the implementation of FPCI Goes to School (FGTS) 4.0, an educational outreach initiative conducted by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) Chapter UPN Veteran Jakarta, with the objective of increasing students’ awareness and understanding of international political dynamics. The initiative addresses the growing need for public literacy on global issues that often have indirect but significant effects on national and local communities, such as trade disruptions and inflation caused by geopolitical conflicts. Using the Russia-Ukraine war as the primary case study, this activity sought to explore how international events influence domestic realities, including the rising cost of grain-based products and the spread of digital propaganda. The program was held at Muhammadiyah 2 Senior High School Jakarta and employed a participatory method involving socialization sessions, group discussions, and pre-test and post-tests evaluations to measure knowledge gain and critical thinking. Findings show that students demonstrated a strong grasp of basic geopolitical knowledge (+90% correct identification) and high level of awareness regarding digital security practices (+95% relevant answers). Slightly lower comprehension was observed in questions requiring simple analytical reasoning about international politics. This activity concludes that early exposure to international political education, delivered through targeted civic engagement programs, is promising to cultivate for a more globally-aware and resilient future citizens. 

The Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail (KCJB) project is one of the strategic infrastructure initiatives resulting from the output of cooperation between Indonesia and China following the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) policy. Although the project is promising in improving transportation efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and the potential for regional economic growth, its implementation is inseparable from various challenges, one of which is geopolitics. This research aims to find out the geopolitical dynamics that arise due to China's incentives in financing and mastering KCJB technology, and also examine Indonesia's position in the midst of regional conflicts, one of which is the South China Sea dispute. The method in this research is qualitative based on literature study. This research reveals that the KCJB project is not just technical cooperation, but reflects a struggle for strategic influence. Indonesia's dependence on financing and technology from China creates potential asymmetry in bilateral relations and risks to sovereignty. The findings are expected to enrich the discourse on foreign policy and national infrastructure in the face of increasingly complex regional or global challenges.

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has a very important role in providing religious and social guidance for Muslims in Indonesia. The history of the MUI began in 1975, with the aim of strengthening the unity of Muslims and issuing fatwas in accordance with Islamic teachings. Over time, the MUI has developed into a very influential institution in determining religious policies in Indonesia. One of the main commissions in the MUI is the Fatwa Commission, which is tasked with issuing fatwas related to current religious issues, especially in facing the challenges of the times and social problems that continue to develop. This study aims to explore the urgency of the role of the MUI Fatwa Commission in issuing fatwas that are in accordance with the needs of the Indonesian people. In addition, this study also discusses the istinbath method applied by the MUI Fatwa Commission in issuing fatwas, as well as its application to contemporary issues. This istinbath method refers to the process of deriving law from the main sources of Islam, such as the Qur'an, Hadith, Ijma', and Qiyas, taking into account the existing social context and dynamics. The results of the study show that the MUI Fatwa Commission has a very great urgency in responding to various problems of Muslims, especially those related to modern issues such as sharia economics, technology, and health issues. Through the istinbath method, the MUI has succeeded in providing fatwas that are not only based on classical texts, but are also relevant to current developments. For example, in the matter of sharia economics, the MUI has issued a fatwa that supports the sharia financial system while still paying attention to the applicable fiqh rules.

Industrialization is a key factor in the economic development of a country, including Indonesia. Since the New Order era, industrialization has become an integral part of national development strategies, marked by the growth of the industrial sector and the active involvement of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept of industrialization, its role in the economy, the development of the industrial sector in Indonesia, its impacts, and concrete examples of state-owned enterprises operating in the industrial sector. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach, focusing on synthesizing findings from various sources to gain deeper insight. The discussion results show that industrialization greatly contributes to economic growth and job creation, but it also brings negative impacts such as environmental pollution, consumerism, cultural value shifts, and uncontrolled urbanization. One example of a state-owned enterprise playing a major role in the industrial sector is PT Pertamina (Persero), which contributes to national energy security and the development of a sustainable energy industry. By understanding the dynamics of industrialization, it is hoped that Indonesia’s future economic development can achieve a better balance between growth and sustainability.

The enactment of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health marks a significant reform in Indonesia's health legal system, revoking and replacing several previous laws, including Law No. 38 of 2014 on Nursing. This decision carries various implications for nursing practice, particularly concerning professional authority, competency standards, and legal protection for nurses in performing their duties. This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review methods involving legal documents, scientific journals, and expert opinions to analyze the regulatory impact of Law No. 17 of 2023 on the nursing profession. The findings indicate that the new law integrates the role of nurses into a more unified national health service system while formally recognizing the autonomy of nurses as professional healthcare providers. Nevertheless, the repeal of the Nursing Law is considered to create normative gaps, particularly in the technical regulation of nursing practices, ethical codes, and professional sanction mechanisms. This condition highlights the urgency for implementing regulations (government regulations or ministerial decrees) that can adequately accommodate the needs and legal protection of the nursing profession. Therefore, it is essential for stakeholders, including professional organizations and nursing education institutions, to actively engage in responding to these regulatory dynamics. This study is expected to contribute academically to the discourse on the development of health law that is more inclusive of all health professionals, particularly nurses.

In this have a look at, a new mathematical model for FDAE-based smart manage systems is proposed. The model carries fractional derivatives blended with algebraic constraints to symbolize prolonged memory results. We describe a numerical method to solve the proposed device and practice this version to robotics, self-reliant cars, and sensible prosthetics. The Fractional Collocation Method is employed to resolve FDAEs, making sure accuracy and balance. To validate the proposed method, we introduce 3 examples: a simple FDAE demonstrating the accuracy of the numerical solution, a device of FDAEs modeling interdependent dynamic variables with algebraic constraints, and an FDAE with a nonlinear algebraic constraint, highlighting the approach's capability to handle complicated, nonlinear dynamics. Simulation results verify that FDAEs offer a more practical and powerful tool for designing and reading wise manage systems as compared to classical techniques.
