Litopenaeus vannamei is a brackish-water aquaculture commodity that is highly favored by the Indonesian community and represents one of the country’s leading aquaculture products, with production continuing to increase in response to rising domestic and export demand. One of the main factors triggering disease in L. vannamei is the presence of Vibrio sp. bacteria, which are recognized as serious pathogens in various aquaculture organisms and serve as causative agents of bacterial diseases. These bacteria naturally inhabit marine environments and are categorized as opportunistic, meaning they become pathogenic when environmental conditions decline and host health is compromised. Disinfectants are chemical substances used to inhibit or eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi (excluding bacterial spores) on non-living surfaces. One disinfectant material is Smart Care (Intracare B.V., The Netherlands), which contains stabilized hydrogen peroxide with a prolonged-release mechanism. This study employed an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The treatments included a control (without H₂O₂) and applications of H₂O₂ at concentrations of 1 ml/L, 2 ml/L, 3 ml/L, and 4 ml/L. The results indicated that the addition of hydrogen peroxide at different concentrations did not produce statistically significant differences in suppressing the growth rate of Vibrio sp. Nevertheless, treatment C (3 ml/L H₂O₂) showed the highest inhibitory effect, with no bacterial colony growth observed. Therefore, the application of H₂O₂ at 3 ml/L demonstrates potential in reducing Vibrio sp. growth and supporting sustainable shrimp aquaculture practices.

This study aims to analyze the phytochemical profile of Sambung Nyawa (Gynura procumbens) leaves as a potential herbal candidate for mild hypertension therapy using in silico methods. Plant samples were examined to identify active compounds documented in the PubChem database. The identified compounds were further analyzed using PASS Online to predict their pharmacological activities, ProTox-II to evaluate toxicity levels, and pkCSM to assess ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) characteristics. The findings reveal that several bioactive compounds present in Sambung Nyawa leaves demonstrate strong predicted anti-hypertensive activity accompanied by minimal toxicological risk. PASS Online analysis indicates potential mechanisms of action, including vascular receptor modulation and mild diuretic properties that may support blood pressure regulation. ProTox-II classification places most compounds in the low-toxicity category, while pkCSM predictions confirm acceptable bioavailability and favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Overall, these results provide a preliminary scientific foundation for the development of Gynura procumbens as an alternative herbal therapy for mild hypertension and support the need for further validation through in vitro and in vivo experimental studies.

Slum upgrading is a strategic step in improving the quality of life of urban communities, where its success is largely determined by the active involvement of local residents. This study aims to analyze the level of community involvement in the implementation of slum upgrading in Mantuil Village, South Banjarmasin District. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 98 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to measure the level of participation in four stages of the activity. The results show that community involvement is in the good category, but has an uneven distribution. The highest average scores were found in the utilization stage (30.44) and maintenance stages (30.23), indicating that community participation is driven by the principle of direct benefit from the infrastructure being built. Conversely, participation in the planning and implementation stages tends to be lower due to structural barriers such as time constraints and respondents' economic burdens. These findings confirm that sustainable settlement upgrading requires synergy between community social capital and government policies that are adaptive to the geographic characteristics of the region, particularly related to tidal flooding vulnerability in riverbank areas.

Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia has encouraged the strengthening of civil service management oriented toward performance through the policy of appointing Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) in order to improve the effectiveness of public organizations. This study aims to analyze the performance of PPPK in supporting the implementation of tasks at the Environmental Agency of Jambi City by using Mangkunegara’s performance theory as the analytical framework. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results show that the performance of PPPK is generally in the good category and contributes positively to organizational effectiveness. This is reflected in the aspects of work quality, work quantity, and responsibility as explained in Mangkunegara’s performance theory. The alignment between job placement and competence, increased work motivation due to employment status certainty, and organizational support through training and coaching are the main factors supporting performance optimization. However, there are still constraints, particularly the suboptimal understanding of main duties and functions, thus requiring strengthened organizational communication and continuous capacity development. This study confirms that competency-based management and systematic development of PPPK play an important role in improving the effectiveness of task implementation in the public sector.

This reseacrch aims to reveal the metaphusical meaning within the Penti ceremony as a form of thanksgiving to God (Mori Kraeng) in the Kuleng Waga Tribe community, Mano Village, Easr Manggarai. The Penti ceremony is a hereditary customary rite that marks the end of the harvest season and server as a religious momentum to renew the relationship between humans, nature, ancestors, and God. From a metaphysical perspective, Penti reflects the awareness of the existential interconnectedness between creatures and the Creator, as developed in the philosophy of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas concerning actus assendi and participatio entis. Through a qualitative approach and cultur hermeneutics, this study interprets the symbols and ritual actions of Penti as a concrete expression of the ontological relationship between sreation and the Transcendent. The result of the study show that Penti contains three main metaphysical dimensions: first, the ontological dimension regarding human awareness of existence and dependence on God; Second, the perticipatory dimension concerning the role of ancestors as a spiritual bridge between humans and God; Third, the eschatological dimension regarding the hope for the ultimate perfection of life in God. Thus, Penti not only holds cultural value but also carries profound theological and metaphysical meaning.

The digital era demands a fundamental transformation in the role of early childhood educators, shifting from passive technology consumers to active architects of digital literacy. However, the dominance of technocentric views often acts as a substantial psychological and pedagogical barrier for teachers in regional areas. This collaborative community service project aims to reconstruct the paradigm of 50 kindergarten teachers in Bulukumba Regency by integrating "unplugged coding" logic and deep learning into play-based learning. Utilizing a Product-Based Intensive Training method with a "Logic over Laptop" strategy, the program focused on deconstructing technology-related stigmas and reconstructing teachers' ability to transform abstract concepts into safe, concrete media for children. Data analysis revealed a significant shift in teacher paradigms; while the majority were initially in the "less successful" category, 100% of participants reached positive categories (successful and very successful) post-intervention. Statistically, the program's effectiveness was evidenced by a dramatic increase in mean scores from 18.04 to 31.24 (p < 0.05) and an N-Gain score of 0.778, classified as highly effective. Furthermore, the partner satisfaction index reached 4.82 (very satisfied), confirming that the tri-campus collaboration model (STAI Al-Gazali, UNM, and Unismuh) is highly relevant to the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum. This project concludes that strengthening digital literacy through non-digital algorithmic reasoning effectively dismantles technical barriers for teachers while ensuring the safety of child development in the digital age.

Patient satisfaction is a key requirement for successful hospital services, influenced by factors such as mismatched expectations, nurses' personal behavior, high costs, and an unsupportive environment. Nurses' therapeutic communication plays a crucial role in increasing satisfaction in the inpatient ward by building trust and reducing misunderstandings in multicultural patients. Objective: To determine the relationship between nurses' therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction in the Inpatient Ward of Khidmat Sehat Afiat (KiSA) Regional General Hospital, Depok City in 2025. Method: A quantitative, analytical correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. The adult patient population was 120 people from August to October 2025, with a sample of 97 respondents via simple random sampling (with a 5% dropout rate). Data were collected using a questionnaire at KiSA Regional General Hospital, Depok (October-November 2025), and analyzed using chi-square for categorical variables. Results: 87.6% of nurses used good therapeutic communication; patient satisfaction was 79.3% satisfied, 27.3% quite satisfied, and 0% dissatisfied. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.008 <0.05, indicating a significant relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between nurses' therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction levels in the Asoka Inpatient Ward of KiSA Regional General Hospital. Suggestion: Nurses should improve their skills through active listening, verbal empathy, information clarification, self-evaluation, and shift discussions for multicultural patients in Depok.

Women’s representation in legislative institutions is an important indicator for assessing the quality of democracy and gender equality in a political system. Indonesia has implemented an affirmative policy requiring a minimum quota of 30% female candidates in legislative elections. However, its implementation at the local level still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of tokenism and the forms of women’s political representation in the nomination and election process of members of the Cilegon City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) for the 2024–2029 period. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach using literature review and secondary data analysis. The analysis is based on Hanna Pitkin’s theory of political representation, which categorizes representation into four types: formal, symbolic, descriptive, and substantive. The findings show that only 4 out of 40 seats in the Cilegon City DPRD are occupied by women, representing approximately 10% of the total membership, and this figure has remained unchanged compared to the previous period. This condition indicates a gap between the fulfillment of the female candidate quota at the nomination stage and the low level of electoral success. Furthermore, the political recruitment process within parties also reflects indications of tokenism, where female candidates are often included merely to fulfill administrative requirements without sufficient political support. As a result, women’s representation in the Cilegon DPRD tends to remain at the formal and descriptive levels, while substantive representation remains a challenge in local political practice.

This study examines the dynamics of Islamic civilization and cultural expressions in Southeast Asia through a comparative analysis of Muslim communities in Indonesia and Thailand. Southeast Asia represents a unique region where Islam has interacted with diverse local traditions, producing distinctive cultural forms and civilizational patterns. The research aims to explore how Islamic values, cultural traditions, and historical experiences shape the development of Muslim societies in both countries.Using a qualitative comparative approach, this study analyzes historical sources, academic literature, and socio-cultural practices within Muslim communities in Indonesia and Thailand. The research focuses on three main aspects: the historical development of Islam, the interaction between Islamic teachings and local cultures, and the role of cultural practices in shaping contemporary Muslim identity.  The findings reveal that Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia is characterized by adaptability, cultural negotiation, and pluralistic expressions. In Indonesia, Islamic cultural expressions tend to be more institutionalized and integrated within national cultural frameworks, while in Thailand, Muslim communities maintain strong cultural identities through local traditions and religious institutions despite existing within a predominantly Buddhist society.  This study contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic civilization by demonstrating that cultural diversity and local adaptation play significant roles in shaping Muslim societies in Southeast Asia. Understanding these dynamics provides deeper insight into the relationship between religion, culture, and civilization in pluralistic societies.

This study aims to analyze the level of environmental friendliness of gillnet fishing gear operated by fishermen in Pangandaran Regency. Sustainable management of fishery resources is crucial in this region, given the high biodiversity and the pressure from environmentally damaging fishing activities. The methods used in this study include field observations, interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires to 30 respondents. Data analysis was conducted by scoring based on the nine criteria for environmentally friendly fishing gear established by the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) 1995. These nine criteria include gear selectivity, impact on habitat, fisherman safety, catch quality, consumer safety, impact on biodiversity, protection of endangered species, and social acceptance. The results showed that gillnet fishing gear in Pangandaran Regency obtained an average score of 28.3. Based on the CCRF assessment categories, this value places gillnets in the environmentally friendly category. Nevertheless, the selectivity aspect remains the lowest-scoring factor as the gear still catches more than three species with varying sizes. On the other hand, this fishing gear proved to be safe for habitats, poses no danger to fishermen, produces safe products for consumers, and is well-received socially by the local community.

The environmental friendliness of a fishing gear is an important component in sustainable fisheries management. The use of environmentally friendly fishing gear that complies with the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries is absolutely necessary. Environmental friendliness refers to the ability of a fishing gear to catch fish with minimal environmental impact, because even though the fishing gear can catch fish well, the fishing gear can still cause problems with the marine environment, such as damage to coral reefs and non-selective fishing. The purse seine fishing gear used by fishermen in Laha Village, Ambon is one of the effective fishing gears in catching various types of pelagic fish such as scad, tuna, lemuru, skipjack and mackerel. Purse Seine fishing gear also has a negative impact on the marine ecosystem and therefore this study was conducted to determine the environmental friendliness of Purse Seine fishing gear. The research method that will be used is a descriptive method, namely interviews using questionnaires given to fishermen and data collection through field observations. Based on the results of the study, the Purse Seine fishing gear in Laha Village, Ambon is used to catch several types of small and large pelagic fish and the main catch is scad and skipjack tuna. Based on the calculation results of the criteria for environmentally friendly fishing gear, a score of 30 was obtained, so it can be concluded that the Purse Seine fishing gear in Laha Village, Ambon is included in the very environmentally friendly category. It is recommended that fishermen in Laha Village prioritize their safety and security during the fishing process and while sailing.

Tegal possesses substantial capture fisheries potential, supported by the availability of adequate human resources and appropriate infrastructure. One of the most commonly utilized fishing gears at the Tegalsari Nusantara Fishing Port is the pocket seine net. This study was conducted to evaluate the environmental friendliness of pocket seine fishing gear operated by fishermen at the Tegalsari Nusantara Fishing Port and to analyze the composition of the catch produced by this gear. The research employed a survey method using a questionnaire instrument based on nine criteria for environmentally friendly fishing gear. The respondents in this study were fishermen operating pocket seine net, and the number of respondents was determined using the Slovin formula. Data were processed using descriptive analysis. Meanwhile, the catch composition data were analyzed using the comparative method. The results of the fishing gear friendliness assessment indicate that the pocket seine gear used by fishermen at the Tegalsari Nusantara Fishing Port falls within the environmentally friendly category, with an indicator score ranging from 19 to 27. The catch composition of pocket seine gear comprises 12 species, which are classified into main catch and bycatch. All captured species possess economic value; consequently, no catch is discarded.

The method used in this study is a quantitative experimental approach with a Pre-Experimental Design, specifically the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population consisted of 25 students from the Mitra Persada Football School aged 13–15 years. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in a final sample of 15 students. Data collection instruments included performance tests and questionnaires that had been validated by experts with a feasibility level of 95% (categorized as “Very Feasible”). The collected data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test and N-Gain Score effectiveness test with the help of SPSS version 26. The results showed an overall improvement in performance, with the average pretest score of 58.40 increasing to 79.20 in the posttest. The Paired Sample T-Test results indicated a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. Furthermore, the effectiveness test using the N-Gain Score resulted in a value of 0.50 (50%), which falls into the “Moderate” or fairly effective category. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive and highly significant impact of licensed coach training programs on improving the performance of early-age athletes at SSB Mitra Persada Cilongok Banyumas.

This study aims to descriptively analyze the ability of elementary students to imitate rhythmic gymnastics movements through the Just Dance Now application in Physical Education learning at SDN Bulay 1 Pamekasan. The background of this research stems from the low motivation and movement accuracy of students in conventional rhythmic gymnastics learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study involved 24 fifth-grade students as subjects. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students' ability to imitate rhythmic gymnastics movements through Just Dance Now falls into the sufficient category, with students demonstrating good proficiency in basic movement patterns but experiencing challenges in complex body coordination and musical rhythm synchronization. The application successfully enhanced student enthusiasm and engagement compared to traditional methods. However, technical constraints such as internet connectivity and limited space were identified as implementation barriers. This study implies that digital game-based media like Just Dance Now can serve as an effective alternative visual aid in elementary physical education, particularly for rhythmic gymnastics instruction. Educators are encouraged to integrate technology creatively while addressing infrastructural limitations to optimize learning outcomes.

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.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is often associated with neurovascular compression in the trigeminal nerve root entry zone, necessitating the simultaneous visualisation of nerves and blood vessels. Fusion of 3D SPACE and 3D TOF MRA images provides an integrated neurovascular view; however, not all hospitals have fusion software. This study developed a MATLAB-based image fusion method as an alternative and evaluated its equivalence to hospital-based fusion software.Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative research design, conducted in November 2025 at Diponegoro National Hospital and Dr Kariadi General Hospital in Semarang. A total of 16 brain MRI datasets (3D SPACE and 3D TOF MRA) were fused using hospital software and the MATLAB fusion application (MATLAB R2025b GUI). The fusion results were assessed by specialist radiologists. Diagnostic performance metrics (sensitivity, specificity, NDP, NDN, accuracy) were calculated, and paired differences were tested using the McNemar test. Intra-observer reliability was assessed using percentage agreement and Cohen’s Kappa.Results: MATLAB fusion yielded a sensitivity of 90.91%, specificity of 80.00%, NDP of 90.91%, NDN of 80.00%, and accuracy of 87.50%; the McNemar test (p=1.000) indicated no significant difference. Intra-observer reliability was very good (percent agreement 94%; Kappa 0.875). These findings indicate that MATLAB-based fusion is equivalent to hospital software fusion on the study data and has the potential to serve as an alternative in facilities without fusion software, provided that registration standardisation and user training are in place.

This study investigates the use of derivational morphemes in David Goggins' motivational speech, “12 Minutes to Change Your Life,” featured on Huberman's podcast. Derivational morphemes, which create new words and alter grammatical categories, are essential in understanding language development and communication. Despite extensive research on derivational morphemes in various texts, there is limited analysis of their usage in motivational speeches. This study addresses this gap by analyzing Goggins' speech, focusing on identifying and classifying derivational morphemes. Using qualitative methods, the speech was transcribed, and words containing derivational morphemes were analyzed based on the theories of Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyams (2011). The findings reveal 23 instances of derivational morphemes, divided into class-changing and class-maintaining categories. Notable transformations include adjectives to adverbs, verbs to nouns, and adjectives to nouns, with the most frequent being adjectives to adverbs. The study provides insights into the function and impact of derivational morphemes in spoken motivational content, contributing to the broader understanding of morphology in language use.

Inflectional morphemes are of great importance in linguistic analysis, especially when applied to speech delivered in various contexts. We explore the complexity of inflectional morphemes through an analysis of Linda McMahon’s Speech script titled “Our Department’s Final Mission.” Inflectional morphemes are also known as grammatical morphemes, as their primary function is to provide grammatical information about a word without altering its core meaning or lexical category. These inflectional morphemes include possessive morphemes (-‘s/s’), plural morphemes (-s/es), third-person singular present morphemes (-s), past morphemes(-d/ed), present/progressive particles (-ing), past participle (-en), comparative particles (-er), and superlative particles (-est). Therefore, this study focuses on understanding the types of inflectional morphemes used in Linda McMahon’s speech script. The main theory of inflectional morphemes is based on an understanding of grammatical function, affixation processes, and categories in the language system. The researcher identified 7 categories of inflectional morphemes. The result showed that 99 inflectional morphemes were found in Linda McMahon’s speech script. There were 46 plural morphemes (-s), 26 present/progressive particle morphemes (-ing), 19 past tense morphemes (-ed), 4 possessive morphemes (-‘s/s’), 2 third-person singular present morphemes (-s),1 comparative morpheme (-er), and 1 superlative morpheme (-est). It can be conclude that the most dominant category in the analysis is the plural morpheme (-s) and the least dominant is the comparative (-er) and superlative (-est) morpheme. Its is hoped that this study can provide solutions in determining the types of inflectional morphemes in a speech script.
