This study aims to improve student engagement and learning outcomes in the subject of Natural and Social Sciences (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial / IPAS) through the implementation of the Auditory, Intellectually, Repetition (AIR) learning model in a fourth-grade elementary school class. The initial problem indicated that student engagement in learning was still low, at 37.5%, with learning mastery reaching only 33.3% and an average class score of 68.0, which did not meet the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 75. Therefore, improvement efforts were needed through the implementation of a more active and student-centered learning model. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles, where each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 24 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques included observation of student engagement, learning outcome evaluation tests, field notes, and documentation. Student engagement data were analyzed using percentages, while learning outcomes were analyzed through mean scores and the percentage of classical learning mastery. The results showed a significant improvement in each cycle. In Cycle I, student engagement increased to 62.5%, with learning mastery reaching 54.17% and an average score of 74.29, although it had not yet achieved classical completeness. In Cycle II, student engagement increased to 87.5%, with learning mastery reaching 100% and an average score of 85.42. These improvements indicate that the implementation of the AIR model was able to gradually and sustainably enhance both the learning process and outcomes. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Auditory, Intellectually, Repetition (AIR) learning model is effective in improving student engagement and learning outcomes in IPAS. This model can serve as an alternative learning strategy to create a more active, systematic, and student-centered learning environment.

Undernutrition among children under five remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Ogan Ilir District. This condition can adversely affect growth, cognitive development, and immune function. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with undernutrition among children under five in the working area of Seri Tanjung Public Health Center, Ogan Ilir District, in 2025. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 95 children under five were selected using cluster sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire and anthropometric measurements of weight-for-age (W/A), then analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that economic status (p=0.012; OR=3.25; 95%CI=1.29–8.20), environmental sanitation (p=0.021; OR=2.98; 95%CI=1.18–7.53), infectious diseases (p=0.004; OR=3.85; 95%CI=1.55–9.58), and maternal health history (p=0.037; OR=2.67; 95%CI=1.06–6.74) were significantly associated with undernutrition. The strongest influencing factor was infectious diseases. This study recommends strengthening infection prevention efforts, improving environmental sanitation, providing nutrition education for families, and monitoring maternal health during pregnancy to reduce the prevalence of undernutrition among children under five.

The Regional Public Library of Sidoarjo Regency plays an important role as a public facility in supporting the development of community literacy. Along with population growth and the advancement of the education sector, the library is required to provide spaces that are comfortable, safe, and inclusive for all users. However, existing conditions indicate various architectural problems that potentially hinder the optimal function of the library. This study aims to identify architectural issues at the Regional Public Library of Sidoarjo Regency, including building conditions, spatial layout, user comfort, and the availability of thematic literacy facilities and inclusive spaces. The research method employed observation and literature review. Field observation was conducted to document the actual conditions of the building and library facilities, while the literature review focused on library standards, building regulations, and relevant architectural theories. The results show that although the library building is structurally adequate, the quality of space has not fully met the required standards of comfort, safety, and functionality. The spatial arrangement remains conventional and lacks flexibility, limiting its ability to support diverse literacy activities. In addition, thematic literacy facilities and the application of inclusive design principles are still limited. This study concludes that architectural development efforts are needed, focusing on improving spatial quality, implementing adaptive spatial planning, and providing more diverse and inclusive literacy facilities. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for future development planning of the Regional Public Library of Sidoarjo Regency in order to enhance its role as an educational public space and a community literacy center.

Bullying is a social problem that still frequently occurs in elementary school settings and may negatively affect children’s psychological development. Improving knowledge from an early age is one of the preventive efforts to reduce bullying behavior. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the educational snakes and ladders game as a learning medium in improving students’ knowledge about bullying at SD Negeri 3 Wonorejo, Karanganyar. This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 23 fourth- and fifth-grade students. The instrument was a questionnaire assessing knowledge of bullying. The results showed an increase in the students’ average knowledge scores after the intervention using the Snakes and Ladders game. This medium was proven to deliver educational messages in an interesting, enjoyable, and effective way, while also encouraging positive interaction among students during the learning process. The educational snakes and ladders game can therefore be used as an alternative educational medium for bullying prevention in elementary schools.

Gillnet fisheries play an important role in supporting the local economy and the welfare of coastal communities. However, fishermen still face challenges related to unequal access to livelihood assets and high vulnerability to external factors such as seasonal changes, catch fluctuations, market pressures, and environmental conditions. This study aimed to analyze the level of vulnerability, identify livelihood assets, and formulate strategies for sustainable livelihood development among gillnet fishing communities. The study was conducted in Margasari and Muara Gading Mas Villages in September 2025 using a mixed-method approach, combining questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Samples were selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods supported by a Likert scale. The results showed that fishermen’s vulnerability is relatively high (54.5%), affecting income stability. Social (81.4%) and natural (78.7%) assets are relatively strong, while human (38.6%), physic (48.3%), and financial (43.20%) assets remain relatively low. Limited education, lack of training, and restricted access to financial resources are the main constraints, leading to low adaptive capacity and limited livelihood diversification. Recommended strategies include improving human resource capacity, strengthening access to financial capital, and developing livelihood diversification based on local potential. These efforts are expected to enhance household economic resilience and support sustainable livelihoods among gillnet fishing communities.

This study analyzes law enforcement related to the application of the death penalty with a ten-year probation period as stipulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP). The results of the study show that the enforcement of the conditional death penalty is carried out in three stages, namely the formulation, application, and implementation stages. The formulation stage is reflected in the establishment of the death penalty as a special alternative and conditional punishment in Law Number 1 of 2023, the application stage is carried out through the application of norms by law enforcement officials, while the implementation stage relates to the execution of court decisions against convicts. The change in the construction of the death penalty from an absolute primary punishment to an alternative and special conditional punishment has fundamental legal implications for the criminal justice system in Indonesia, especially with the existence of discretion for judges and law enforcement officials to assess the possibility of changing the type of punishment based on the convicted person's remorse and efforts to reform themselves during the probation period.

Adolescence is a period of change or transition from childhood to adulthood, encompassing biological, psychological, and social changes. Adolescent girls experience menstruation every month, which puts them at risk of anemia, compounded by poor dietary habits and the failure to consume iron tablets. Rapid adolescent growth is linked to nutritional fulfillment or adolescent consumption of nutrients, one of which is iron consumption. Insufficient iron consumption can lead to anemia in adolescents. Strategies to address anemia in adolescent girls include improving dietary intake and providing iron tablet supplementation. Changing dietary patterns is an important long-term strategy, but cannot be expected to be successful quickly. Anemia is a global health problem, especially in developing countries, where an estimated 30% of the world's population suffers from anemia. Adolescent girls are ten times more likely to suffer from anemia than boys. Efforts to prevent anemia in adolescents through iron tablet supplementation are a strategic, specific intervention to prepare healthy mothers-to-be. The aim was to determine the effect of iron (Fe) tablet administration on increasing Hb levels in adolescent girls with mild anemia. This study was quantitative, with an experimental design. The population in this study were 55 young women at the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency. A purposive sample of 30 samples was taken. Data collection in this study was carried out by examining Hb levels before and after administering iron tablets 4 times in a row for 4 weeks. The results of the study were that there was no significant difference between Hb levels before and after administering iron tablets in young women at the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency. The average Hb level before administering iron tablets was 11.5 g/dL, and after administering iron tablets was 12 g/dL. The results of the paired t-test showed a difference before and after administering iron tablets (p value = 0.001), so the test has an effect on administering iron tablets (Fe) on increasing Hb levels in young women with mild anemia in the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency.

Good governance has become a crucial framework for improving public sector effectiveness, accountability, and responsiveness to citizens’ needs. In Indonesia, decentralization policies since 1999 have devolved significant authority and resources to local governments, creating both opportunities and challenges in implementing good governance principles. This study examines administrative reform efforts in Indonesian local governments, focusing on progress, challenges, and key success factors. Using a multiple case study design, the research analyzed reform initiatives in six district/city governments with diverse contexts. Data were collected through document analysis, semi-structured interviews with government officials, civil society representatives, and citizens, as well as direct observation of administrative processes conducted between March and November 2024. The study assessed six core principles of good governance: participation, transparency, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency, equity and inclusiveness, and rule of law. The findings reveal variations in implementation across regions, with high-performing governments demonstrating strong leadership commitment, systematic planning, active citizen engagement, and effective monitoring mechanisms. However, challenges persist, including limited capacity, bureaucratic resistance, weak accountability enforcement, and low public participation. Key success factors include visionary leadership, capacity development, strategic partnerships, and institutional strengthening. Policy recommendations emphasize enhancing local capacity, accountability systems, citizen participation, and performance evaluation.

The manufacturing industry in Indonesia has experienced rapid growth along with the increasing demand from society for various industrial products. This condition encourages manufacturing companies to improve productivity, product quality, and production process efficiency in order to compete in the global market. One of the efforts that companies can undertake is the consistent implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) at every stage of the production process. This activity aims to determine the implementation of SOP in the emboss production process at PT Nikomas Gemilang and to examine its influence on the work efficiency of operators. The method used in this activity is a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, direct work practice, and documentation during the implementation of the internship program (Kuliah Kerja Praktik/KKP). The results of the activity indicate that the implementation of SOP in the emboss production process has been carried out through several stages, namely the preparation stage, machine operation stage, and production result evaluation stage.

This study investigates collaborative governance in road infrastructure repair in Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, driven by the urgent need to address the high number of damaged roads and the limitations of local government capabilities. Utilizing a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data were gathered from interviews with five stakeholders, field observations, and supporting documents. The study applies collaborative governance theory by Emerson and Nabatchi to analyze road repair efforts in Pekanbaru, highlighting effective collaborative dynamics. Key findings reveal the establishment of a Coordination Team, role clarity, trust, and commitment among stakeholders as factors of success. Essential contributing elements include shared cooperation needs, consequential incentives, leadership support, and sufficient resources. However, challenges such as a volatile political climate, unequal information distribution, and power imbalances pose barriers to collaboration. Overall, the study concludes that collaborative governance in Pekanbaru's road infrastructure enhancement has yielded positive outcomes but calls for improvements in transparency, communication strategies, and the establishment of an integrated information system for effective progress monitoring. Additionally, independent oversight mechanisms are recommended to sustain equitable role distribution and responsibilities among all parties involved.

The application of social interaction in social life in society is not always harmonious. What happened is a difference in thoughts, opinions, and desires between one person and another. This difference became the origin of dispute or conflict in society. This ultimately encouraged those who started out modern-minded to develop dispute resolution mechanisms from their simplest form to what is now called the judicial system, which refers to positive law and social norms or rules. By using normative juridical research methods, namely research through a case approach, because this study aims to determine the efforts to resolve and legal consequences in the Tuban District Court Decision No. 22/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Tbn which is associated with applicable legal regulations and theories. In principle, the conciliation process can only proceed if the parties of the conflict act in good faith. The agreement reached is actually the result of mutual agreement, so that the deed of peace has the same legal force as a court decision (verdict) that is final and binding, and all legal remedies against permanently binding conciliation decisions/notices have ended.

Instagram has evolved into a digital public sphere that enables collective interaction and the expression of social identity, particularly within the context of sports fandom. This study aims to analyze the representation of social identity among supporters of the Indonesian National Football Team in digital interactions found in the comment section of the "Round 4" post on the official Instagram account @timnasindonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using netnography to examine communication practices, symbols, language, and emotional expressions manifested in online interactions among supporters. The analytical framework is grounded in Social Identity Theory proposed by Tajfel and Turner, which emphasizes three core processes: social categorization, social identification, and social comparison. The findings reveal that Instagram comment sections function as arenas for constructing collective identity among Indonesian national team supporters. Social categorization is reflected in the symbolic boundaries formed between "us" as supporters and "others" as outsiders or opponents. Social identification is expressed through displays of national pride, emotional loyalty, the use of national symbols, and narratives of digital solidarity. Meanwhile, social comparison emerges through evaluations of rival teams, criticism of dissenting voices, and efforts to maintain a positive in-group image. These results indicate that digital fanaticism toward the Indonesian National Team extends beyond sports support, representing a form of digital nationalism and social identity construction in the new media environment. This study contributes to digital communication scholarship by deepening the understanding of how social identity and nationalism are negotiated through symbolic interaction on social media platforms.

The PPA Symphony recorded 7,842 cases of violence against children by mid-2024, indicating the need for preventive efforts through early sexual education. Sexual education for children aims to improve their understanding of body awareness, body privacy, and self-protection from inappropriate behaviors. This community service activity aimed to increase students’ understanding of sexual education through interactive PowerPoint media. The activity was conducted at SD Negeri Gebang Surakarta on April 25, 2025, involving 63 students from grades 3, 4, and 5. The method used was an interactive lecture supported by PowerPoint media, storytelling, and mini games. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure students’ knowledge. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 9.827 in the pre-test to 10.210 in the post-test. These findings indicate that interactive PowerPoint media is effective in improving students’ understanding of basic sexual education, particularly regarding body parts, body privacy, safe and unsafe zones, and strategies for refusing uncomfortable behaviors. Therefore, interactive learning media can serve as an effective educational strategy to strengthen early sexual education among elementary school students.

This study aims to analyze the manifestation of Indonesian unity values within the local wisdom of Kresnayana in Blitar Regency, particularly through the “Hasta Brata” performance. As a multicultural nation, Indonesia possesses diversity that represents both potential and challenge; therefore, strengthening unity values through various media, including local wisdom, is essential. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the experiences and involvement of cultural actors in the Kresnayana performance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review using snowball sampling techniques, and were analyzed inductively through data reduction, triangulation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Kresnayana, which originates from the reliefs of Penataran Temple, functions not only as a medium for cultural preservation but also as a means of educating unity values. In the “Hasta Brata” performance, the value of unity is reflected in the complementary relationship between Arjuna and Kresna; the value of togetherness is demonstrated through the cooperation between Anoman and Arjuna; the value of patriotism is evident in efforts to maintain world peace; and the value of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is illustrated through the unity of characters from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, the festival serves as a contextual learning medium in Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) and supports the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile. Thus, Kresnayana represents a concrete manifestation of the implementation of unity values in community life through a local cultural approach.

This study aims to provide a detailed overview of efforts in counseling and guidance programs that teach self-control skills to children whose gaming habits are causing problems. When children spend too much time playing online video games, it can negatively impact their mental health. Problems with emotional regulation, irritability, and lack of self-control in daily life are possible consequences. Appropriate counseling and guidance services are needed to help children develop more adaptive skills to manage their emotions. This study used extensive qualitative data and followed a case study technique. A child whose gaming addiction was causing problems for him participated in the study. Data analysis included tasks such as data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions; data collection methods included documentation, interviews, and observation. Based on the findings, guidance and counseling programs can teach children self-control strategies to help them manage their emotions, reduce irritation, and become more self-aware when playing online games. Therefore, teaching children self-control skills may be a good way to help them overcome negative feelings that arise from playing online video games.

Gastric health problems such as gastritis and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) remain common, particularly among children and adolescents, due to irregular eating patterns, excessive consumption of spicy and acidic foods, and a lack of understanding of healthy lifestyles and proper nutrition. The partner of this Community Service Program (PKM) was LKSA Santa Anna Orphanage in Bojonegoro, where limited knowledge regarding gastric health, differences between gastritis and GERD, and preventive efforts was identified among the residents. This PKM activity aimed to increase partners’ knowledge and awareness of gastric health maintenance through the application of healthy eating patterns, balanced nutrition, and appropriate lifestyle practices. The program included educational sessions, interactive discussions, and simple demonstrations to enhance participants’ understanding and engagement. Previous studies indicate that health education and regular eating habits are effective in preventing gastric disorders; therefore, this socialization activity is expected to encourage positive and sustainable healthy behavioral changes, improve daily dietary habits, and support long-term gastric health and overall well-being.

This study aims to evaluate the quality of public services at the Department of Population and Civil Registration of West Sumba Regency following the implementation of digitalization through the use of electronic signatures. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method to identify gaps between the level of importance and service performance. The results indicate that, overall, service quality can be categorized as fairly good, as reflected by performance levels that are relatively close to public expectations. However, several service attributes remain in the priority quadrant, particularly in terms of system usability, service stability, and accessibility. Meanwhile, attributes such as service speed, data security, and staff responsiveness demonstrate satisfactory performance and should be maintained. These findings suggest that the implementation of electronic signatures has improved service efficiency and effectiveness, although further improvements are still required, particularly in technical aspects and system usability. Therefore, continuous improvement efforts are necessary to enhance public service quality, making it more responsive and oriented toward user satisfaction.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the implementation of Regional Regulation of Gorontalo Regency Number 04 of 2014 concerning the Control of Livestock in Ilomata Village, Bilato District. This research employs an empirical legal method with a sociological juridical approach to examine law not only as written norms but also as a social practice within society. Data were collected through interviews with village officials, regional regulation enforcement officers, and livestock owners, as well as through documentation and literature studies. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively using Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory and Soerjono Soekanto’s theory on factors influencing law enforcement. The results indicate that the implementation of the regional regulation has not been optimal. The influencing factors include legal substance, legal structure (law enforcement officers), facilities and infrastructure, community factors, and legal culture. Normatively, the regulation contains clear provisions; however, its implementation is hindered by inconsistent enforcement, limited supporting facilities, and low levels of public legal awareness. Legal culture and the lack of consistency among law enforcement officers are the most dominant factors affecting the effectiveness of the regulation’s implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen consistent law enforcement, improve supporting facilities, and undertake continuous efforts to build public legal awareness in a participatory manner.
