This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) by applying a discovery learning model assisted by image media in grade V of SD Nurul Khoir, Jambi City. The method used is Class Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. The research subjects amounted to 26 students. Data collection techniques are carried out through learning outcome tests, observation of teacher and student activities, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the completeness of student learning outcomes. In cycle I, completeness reached 73.92%, and increased to 85.30% in cycle II. This improvement shows that the application of the discovery learning model combined with image media is effective in improving IPAS learning outcomes. This model encourages active involvement of students in the learning process, fosters curiosity, and hones critical and logical thinking skills. Image media as a visual aid has also been proven to be able to strengthen concept understanding and improve students' memory of the material studied. In addition, the learning process becomes more fun and meaningful because students are directly involved in the activity of discovering concepts through the stages of observing, questioning, gathering information, reasoning, and concluding. Teachers are no longer the center of information, but play the role of learning facilitators. This strategy is also relevant to the cognitive development characteristics of elementary school students who tend to favor concrete and visual learning. Thus, the application of the discovery learning model assisted by image media can be an alternative to an effective and innovative learning strategy in improving social studies learning outcomes. Teachers are advised to continue to develop adaptive, creative, and contextual learning methods and media.

This study explores the semantic fields of love and loss in Lord Huron’s song "The Night We Met," using a lexical semantics framework. Song lyrics, known for their emotional depth, serve as a rich source for analyzing affective meaning, particularly through word selection and repetition. The primary research question addresses how semantic fields are constructed within minimalist lyrical compositions to convey complex emotional states. In this analysis, a qualitative descriptive method is applied to examine the song's lexical items and group them into thematic semantic fields. The study finds that the song uses a concise set of lexemes connected to themes of memory, temporal disorientation, grief, and love. These thematic fields intertwine, interacting to depict a narrative that encapsulates unresolved emotional pain. Love and loss are not presented in isolation but are embedded in a broader emotional context, where words evoke both the sweetness of past affection and the sorrow of its absence. The overlap of these semantic fields reflects the internal conflict experienced by the narrator, torn between cherished memories and the painful realization of loss. The study concludes that despite the song’s brevity, the lyrics effectively evoke profound emotional responses through a meticulous choice of words and thematic consistency. The semantic fields constructed within the song illustrate how even minimal language can convey intense emotional content, providing valuable linguistic insight into the function of lyricism in popular music. The research demonstrates the ability of short, poignant lyrics to engage listeners emotionally, revealing how lyricists use limited language to encapsulate complex feelings of love and loss.

This study aims to analyze the legal responsibilities of e-sports teams regarding the fulfillment of wage rights and the forms of legal protection for professional athletes based on applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia. As the e-sports industry develops as part of the digital and creative economy, the issue of employment relations between e-sports teams (as employers) and athletes (as professional workers) has become an important issue that requires in-depth study from a legal perspective. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory approach. This approach is used to analyze positive legal norms that regulate the rights and obligations in employment relations and the legal protection mechanisms available to e-sports athletes. This research is prescriptive in nature, meaning it not only describes the applicable legal conditions but also provides recommendations for improvements. The legal material collection technique was carried out through a literature study that included relevant laws and regulations, books, scientific journals, and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that e-sports teams, which can legally be in the form of business entities or corporations, have a legal obligation to pay athletes' wage rights in a timely and full manner as stated in the employment contract. If there are delays or deductions in wages without legal basis, e-sports teams can be held liable under civil, criminal, and administrative laws. Furthermore, legal protection for athletes as workers still faces various challenges, particularly related to weak oversight by relevant authorities and low levels of legal awareness among both team management and athletes themselves. To address this, concrete steps are needed in the form of strengthening law enforcement mechanisms, increasing legal education for e-sports industry players, and developing labor protection policies specifically for e-sports. This way, the rights of professional athletes can be guaranteed fairly and proportionally.

This study aims to develop a contextual learning-based mathematics test instrument focused on Statistics and intended for eighth-grade junior high school (SMP) students. The instrument developed consists of essay questions designed by integrating real-life situations to make them more relevant and meaningful for students. This contextual approach is expected to help students understand statistical concepts more deeply and improve their ability to solve mathematical problems related to everyday life. In the instrument development process, a series of analyses were conducted to test the quality of the test items, including validity, reliability, discriminating power, and difficulty level. The validity of the test items was tested using the correlation between item scores and total scores, with the results showing that all test items had a correlation coefficient greater than the r value of the table, thus being declared valid. Meanwhile, the reliability coefficient obtained was 0.84, indicating that this instrument has a high level of consistency and is suitable for use in measurement. Analysis of the discriminating power showed that each test item had excellent ability to differentiate students with high and low abilities. The analysis of the difficulty level showed balanced variations, namely from easy, medium, to difficult categories. This variation is important to accommodate differences in student ability levels and reflect the diversity in the context of the problems presented. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the developed test instrument is of excellent quality and can be used as an evaluation tool to measure students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. Furthermore, this instrument supports more contextual, interactive, and meaningful statistics learning.

This study examines social ecology from the perspective of hadith science (‘ulum al-hadith), with the aim of exploring the environmental and social values contained in prophetic hadiths. The main focus of this study is the methodological analysis of hadiths related to ecological issues, such as environmental conservation, social justice, and natural resource management. This study uses a hadith criticism approach, namely by examining aspects of authenticity through analysis of sanad (chain of narrators), criticism of matan (the content of the hadith), and contextual and semantic interpretation of hadiths relevant to environmental themes. In this study, the hadiths analyzed were selectively selected based on their relevance to the principles of Islamic social ecology. The analysis process was carried out thoroughly to assess the validity of the hadith and understand its meaning and normative objectives. This approach integrates classical evaluation methods of hadith science with a contemporary ethical perspective, resulting in a comprehensive framework for formulating hadith-based environmental ethics. Research findings indicate that many authentic hadiths contain strong social ecological principles, such as the concept of caliphate (human leadership over the earth), mizan (balance), and distributive justice. These values emphasize the importance of human responsibility in preserving nature and creating harmony between humans and their environment. These hadiths also demonstrate the close relationship between the spiritual dimension and socio-ecological responsibility. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of hadith-based Islamic environmental jurisprudence. With a methodological and academic approach, this study enriches understanding of Islamic ecological ethics and opens up opportunities for integrating religious values into just and sustainable environmental management.

Honesty (ṣidq) is a core value in Islamic teachings that not only shapes individual behavior but also plays a vital role in establishing a just, trustworthy, and moral society. In various authentic hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized that honesty leads to righteousness (al-birr), and righteousness leads to Paradise. Conversely, lying leads to wickedness and Hell, and is one of the signs of hypocrisy. This study aims to explore the significance of honesty in Islam based on the Prophet’s hadiths and the explanations of classical scholars. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach. Primary data sources include authentic hadith compilations such as Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, while secondary data are drawn from relevant scholarly literature. The analysis applies a thematic approach by grouping hadiths on honesty into sub-themes and interpreting their contexts and meanings. The findings show that honesty must be cultivated continuously, is a sign of true faith, and a condition for attaining divine blessings in all aspects of life, including economic transactions (mu‘āmalāt). Scholars such as Imam al-Nawawī, Ibn Rajab, and Ibn Ḥajar unanimously affirm that honesty is the root of all virtue and a source of spiritual light. Thus, honesty in Islam is not merely a social ethic but a spiritual path to divine pleasure and salvation in both this world and the hereafter. The analysis follows a thematic approach, categorizing the hadiths related to honesty into sub-themes and interpreting their contexts and deeper meanings. The findings emphasize that honesty is an essential part of true faith, continuously cultivated by believers, and a necessary condition for receiving divine blessings in all areas of life, including economic transactions (mu‘āmalāt). Scholars like Imam al-Nawawī, Ibn Rajab, and Ibn Ḥajar unanimously assert that honesty is the foundation of all virtues and a source of spiritual enlightenment. Therefore, in Islam, honesty is more than just a social ethic; it is a spiritual path that leads to divine pleasure and salvation in this life and the hereafter. This study underscores the central role of honesty in both personal morality and broader social harmony within Islamic teachings.

This research aims to explore the deep meaning of the Maena dance as a means of spreading the Gospel among the people of Nias. This research applies a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. The research process began with a comprehensive literature study regarding Maena dance, Christianity in Nias, as well as studies related to performing arts as a communication medium. Through this step, the researcher seeks to gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical, social, cultural and theological context of the phenomenon under study. Maena Dance is a cultural heritage from Nias that is rich in traditional values, and also has great potential as a means of conveying the Gospel. Through a creative and contextual approach, Maena Dance has succeeded in integrating Christian symbols, Biblical values ​​and spiritual messages into its movements, costumes and poetry. In this way, Maena becomes an effective communication medium for conveying the Gospel message to the community, especially in environments that still value local traditions.

This paper examines euthanasia from ethical, theological, legal, and human rights perspectives, focusing specifically on the Christian faith. Euthanasia, defined as the intentional termination of life to avoid physical suffering, raises significant moral and legal dilemmas. This study applies a qualitative method through literature review to explore expert opinions, Indonesian legal provisions, and theological foundations based on the Bible. The findings indicate that euthanasia contradicts the core principles of Christian ethics, Indonesian positive law, and human rights values that uphold the right to life. From a Christian worldview, life is a divine gift and should not be ended by human will. Suffering is understood as part of a spiritual journey that carries redemptive meaning. Furthermore, euthanasia presents complex implications not only for the individual undergoing the act but also for families, religious communities, and healthcare professionals. In Christian ethics, life and death are matters of divine sovereignty, and human agency in ending life is considered a violation of God's authority. The legal stance in Indonesia, as reflected in national laws and regulations, clearly prohibits any form of euthanasia, emphasizing the protection of human life as a constitutional right. From a human rights viewpoint, although autonomy is important, it must be balanced with the principle of preserving life. This study suggests that interdisciplinary dialogue involving theology, law, bioethics, and pastoral care is urgently needed to build awareness and offer compassionate responses to end-of-life issues. Churches, educators, and policymakers are encouraged to develop ethical guidelines and pastoral counseling approaches rooted in biblical truth and legal integrity. A wise and faithful response to the problem of euthanasia requires not only empathy but also a clear commitment to uphold the sanctity of life.

This study aims to analyze the impact of experiential marketing on repurchase intention, mediated by guest satisfaction at Aston Batam Hotel & Residence. The background phenomenon underlying this research is the discrepancy between the high number of guests staying and the low number of returning guests during the period from January to June 2024. Despite receiving many positive reviews, the hotel has yet to establish strong customer loyalty. This indicates a need to evaluate the hotel's marketing strategies and the guest experience it provides. A quantitative approach was adopted, employing the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. A total of 130 respondents were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale, measuring guest perceptions of experiential marketing, guest satisfaction, and repurchase intention. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS software to test the validity, reliability, and relationships among the structural model variables. The results of the analysis show that experiential marketing does not have a direct significant effect on repurchase intention, but it has a positive and significant effect on guest satisfaction. Furthermore, guest satisfaction is proven to have a significant impact on repurchase intention. The findings also confirm that guest satisfaction acts as a mediating variable in the relationship between experiential marketing and repurchase intention. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that guest satisfaction is a crucial factor in building customer loyalty and encouraging the intention to repurchase. Therefore, the hotel needs to enhance the quality of the customer experience holistically—not only focusing on service delivery but also creating meaningful and memorable impressions. In the highly competitive hospitality industry, delivering impactful and satisfying experiences is key to retaining customers and increasing guest retention. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of experience-based marketing strategies and offers a deeper understanding of the role of guest satisfaction as a key driver of customer loyalty.

Despite the vital role of early disease detection in preventing complications and minimizing healthcare costs, public awareness regarding this issue remains relatively low. Teachers, as influential figures within educational communities, possess great potential to promote health literacy and recognize early signs of health issues among students and peers. This community engagement program aimed to improve teachers’ and school staff’s knowledge and awareness about the importance of early detection through an educational seminar. The activity took place on July 8, 2025, at Mutiara Bangsa 3 School, located in Jelambar, Grogol Petamburan, and was attended by 97 participants, consisting of teachers and staff members. The seminar lasted 75 minutes and featured Dr. dr. Ernawati, SE., MS., Sp.KKLP as the main speaker. The session was delivered interactively using PowerPoint slides, encouraging active participation and discussion. Observations and feedback collected during and after the event showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of early disease detection, routine health screening, and preventive lifestyle practices. Many participants demonstrated a positive shift in attitude by expressing their intention to undergo regular health check-ups and to share the knowledge gained with students and colleagues. This activity highlights the crucial role of educational institutions in promoting health literacy and acting as platforms for public health promotion. By equipping educators with accurate health information, schools can contribute meaningfully to disease prevention efforts and overall community well-being. The seminar not only enhanced individual awareness but also reinforced the promotive and preventive functions of schools as part of a broader sustainable public health strategy.

This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of price perception, location, and market atmosphere on consumer purchase intention at Segiri Market in Samarinda City, both partially and simultaneously. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of declining consumer interest in shopping at traditional markets, which has affected traders' income, even though Segiri Market is the main market with a strategic location in the city center. This phenomenon highlights the challenges traditional markets face in maintaining their appeal amid competition from modern markets and shopping malls. Therefore, it is important to explore factors that may influence consumer purchase intention at traditional markets. This research uses a quantitative approach, with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents who are visitors of Segiri Market. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 27. The results showed that, partially, the location variable had a significant effect on purchase intention, meaning that a strategic location could enhance the market's appeal to consumers. However, price perception and market atmosphere variables did not show a significant effect on purchase intention on their own. Nevertheless, simultaneously, all three variables (price perception, location, and market atmosphere) had a significant impact on consumer purchase intention. These findings have important implications for market managers and local governments to pay more attention to strategic locations and create a comfortable and attractive market atmosphere. This could increase the appeal of traditional markets, attract more visitors, and ultimately help boost traders' income and support the sustainability of traditional markets as part of the local cultural and economic identity.

This community service activity addresses the growing need for adaptive education in the digital era by focusing on strengthening the character and competence of students in line with rapid technological developments. The Pancasila Student Profile, which serves as the foundation of the Merdeka Curriculum, outlines six core dimensions: faith and piety, global diversity, cooperation, independence, critical reasoning, and creativity. Among these, creativity, independence, and critical thinking are crucial for preparing students to become innovators and problem-solvers in the digital world. However, schools in developing regions often face limitations in implementing these dimensions due to lack of resources and digital literacy. This program was implemented at SMA Negeri 2 Sorong Regency with the objective of strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile by providing training in the use of Thunkable, a visual programming platform for creating drag-and-drop mobile applications. The activity used a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach, enabling students to actively engage in designing simple educational applications that align with their learning context. The method encouraged hands-on exploration, teamwork, critical analysis, and creative thinking. Throughout the training, students not only learned how to navigate the Thunkable platform but also developed functional mobile apps addressing real-life learning challenges. The outcomes of the program showed a marked improvement in students’ digital literacy, problem-solving ability, innovation, and collaboration. Furthermore, students began to view themselves not just as consumers of technology but as producers of meaningful digital solutions. This initiative demonstrates that integrating digital technology with project-based learning can effectively support the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile, even in remote or underdeveloped areas. It provides evidence that with the right approach and tools, students can be empowered to become digitally literate, creative, and socially responsible individuals who are ready to act as agents of change in the 21st century.

This study analyzes the effect of Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Earnings per Share (EPS), and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) on the stock prices of firms listed in the SRI-KEHATI Index during 2020–2024, employing a quantitative approach and multiple linear regression. The sample was selected purposively based on the following criteria: firms consistently included in the SRI-KEHATI Index throughout 2020–2024, availability of complete annual financial statements, and availability of dividend and stock price data for the observation period. The results indicate that TATO, EPS, and DPR jointly have a significant effect on stock prices, with R²=0.666, meaning 66.6% of the variation in stock prices is explained by the model, while 33.4% is influenced by other factors outside the model. Partially, EPS and DPR have positive and significant effects on stock prices, whereas TATO is not significant at the 5% level. The findings imply that investors in SRI-KEHATI constituents should prioritize per-share profitability (EPS) and dividend policy (DPR) in fundamental assessments, while TATO should be evaluated with regard to sectoral characteristics and each firm’s operational context.

The growing coffee production rate in Indonesia reflects an increasing public interest in coffee consumption. Fore Coffee, a local coffee shop, has taken advantage of this trend since 2018. However, strong competition from other coffee shops has placed Fore Coffee in third place in the Top Brand Award rankings for the past two years, indicating the need for more effective marketing strategies to boost purchase intention among potential consumers. This study aims to analyze the role of brand awareness in mediating the effect of social media marketing on purchase intention among prospective consumers of Fore Coffee in Denpasar City. The research was conducted with a sample of 120 respondents, using surveys with offline and online questionnaires. The sample was selected through a non-probability purposive sampling method. The data analysis was performed using path analysis and the Sobel test with SPSS version 25. The study’s results indicate that all hypotheses are supported. Social media marketing positively and significantly affects purchase intention, suggesting that effective social media strategies can directly influence consumers' willingness to purchase. Additionally, social media marketing positively impacts brand awareness, meaning that well-executed social media campaigns help consumers become more familiar with the brand. Furthermore, brand awareness has a significant positive effect on purchase intention, implying that increased awareness of Fore Coffee enhances the likelihood of purchase. The study also found that brand awareness partially mediates the relationship between social media marketing and purchase intention, indicating that social media marketing's impact on purchase intention is stronger when combined with high brand awareness. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating social media marketing with brand awareness strategies to improve consumer purchase intention.

In the calling of believers, the meaning of spiritual life refers to a strong relationship between a person and their faith, which influences their actions, values, and life goals. Spiritual life is not just about personal piety; it is also an essential part of a believer’s mission, ministry, and relationship with God. It is a journey of transformation that encourages believers to align their lives with divine will and to actively participate in the wider community of faith. This calling encourages believers to pursue their purpose, encouraging moral progress, spiritual maturity, and a sense of responsibility toward others. By living a spiritual life, a person can gain a better understanding of the believer’s place in this world and how they can live according to God’s design.

the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, marking God's intervention in the history of His people and the beginning of a new grain harvest. On the other hand, Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a symbol of victory over sin and death, and the culmination of salvation provided through His sacrifice on the cross. In this context, the Eucharist becomes an important sacrament symbolizing the body and Passover and Easter have deep meanings in their respective religious traditions. Passover (Pesach) celebrates blood of Christ. The bread, as a symbol of His broken body, and the cup, as a symbol of His shed blood, remind Christians of God's infinite sacrifice and love. However, in the early days of Christianity, the practice of the Eucharist was often misunderstood, leading to accusations of cannibalism against Christians. This misunderstanding arose because the terms "body" and "blood" were interpreted literally by outsiders. To counter these accusations, Christian apologists, such as Justin Martyr and Tertullian, attempted to provide a theological explanation for the symbolism, emphasizing that the Eucharist was a spiritual and not a physical act. Thus, both Easter and the Eucharist reflect the profound themes of liberation and hope, as well as the importance of a correct understanding of the symbolism of Christian teaching to avoid harmful misunderstandings. This shows that a proper understanding of religious traditions can strengthen faith and strengthen relationships among believers.
