Indonesia has a very diverse cultural wealth, one of which is folklore that lives in various regions. Folklore, as a form of fiction originating from oral tradition, not only functions as entertainment, but also as a character education tool that conveys moral messages and social values. One of the famous folklores in Central Java, especially in Jepara Regency, is Sendang Bidadari. This story tells the origin of a spring that is a place for angels to stop and contains various social values ​​such as mutual cooperation, responsibility, politeness, honesty, and social concern. This study aims to identify the social values ​​contained in the Sendang Bidadari story and its meaning in the context of social life. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the story to make it an alternative learning media in strengthening character education. The results of the study show that the Sendang Bidadari story can be used to teach the younger generation about the importance of preserving local culture and behaving well in social life.

Advances in information technology have had a major impact on the education sector, including at the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) level. To improve the quality of education services, PAUD institutions are required to implement a more sophisticated, accurate, and efficient management system through the use of an integrated information system. This study raises various obstacles faced by PAUD KB Tsamrotul Hikmah, especially in terms of recording teacher attendance, submitting leave, and managing finances that still use manual methods. This conventional system has been shown to reduce work effectiveness, increase the possibility of errors, and weaken the transparency and accountability aspects of the institution. To overcome these problems, an information system was developed to support automated administration processes and more systematic data management. The findings of this study indicate that digitalization of administration can improve work efficiency and data accuracy, as well as build public trust in the institution. Therefore, the implementation of an integrated information system is considered a strategic step in creating more professional, open, and sustainable PAUD management.

Domestic helpers (DWs) play a vital role in sustaining household life in urban areas, yet their legal position in the Indonesian labour system remains marginal and vulnerable, without adequate legal protection. This research aims to analyse juridically normatively the legal position of domestic workers within the framework of national labour law and identify regulatory gaps and structural barriers that hinder the protection of their basic rights. Using a literature study method and a normative juridical approach, this research examines legislation, legal doctrine, and recent scientific literature. The analysis shows that Law No. 13 Year 2003 does not recognise domestic workers as formal workers, and Permenaker No. 2 Year 2015 is non-binding, creating a legal vacuum that results in vulnerability to exploitation, discrimination, and human rights violations. The absence of special regulations such as the PPRT Bill and the non-ratification of ILO Convention No. 189 exacerbate structural injustice against domestic workers. This research concludes that the legal protection of domestic workers is very weak normatively and practically, so regulative reform is needed through the enactment of special laws and harmonisation of national laws with international human rights standards in order to create a fair, inclusive and social justice-based employment system.

Islamic education aims to shape individuals who are faithful, possess noble character, and can make positive contributions to society. Besides transferring knowledge, Islamic education also instills spiritual, social, and intellectual values, in line with the goals of the SDGs, particularly quality and sustainable education. Its implementation involves synergy among schools, pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), and social-religious institutions. Even though it faces challenges such as resource limitations and the influences of globalization, Islamic education has significant opportunities through digital technology and government policy support. By integrating Islamic values into an adaptive and inclusive education system and strengthening collaboration among institutions, Islamic education can become a key pillar in building a civil society with global competitiveness.

This research aims to examine the gap in legal protection for domestic workers in Indonesia through an analysis of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and ILO Convention No. 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers. Until now, domestic workers have not been explicitly recognized in national regulations, so their basic rights such as living wages, social security, and humane working hours are often neglected. This condition is exacerbated by the absence of written work contracts, the dominance of informal recruitment, and the view of the community that does not consider domestic workers as formal workers. This article concludes that the ratification of ILO Convention 189 and the passing of the Domestic Workers Protection Bill are strategic steps to strengthen legal protection for domestic workers in Indonesia, which also needs to be supported by labor inspection and comprehensive legal education.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of print and digital advertisements in increasing sarong sales at Toko Istana Sarung Wonorejo. Using a quantitative approach, sales data from the first three months of 2025 were analyzed based on digital advertisements (social media), print advertisements (brochures and banners), and word-of-mouth promotions. The results show that digital advertising had the greatest impact on sales growth (approximately 50%), followed by word-of-mouth promotion (5–10%), and print advertising (around 15%). These findings highlight the importance of a multichannel marketing strategy tailored to consumer characteristics.

This study aims to explore consumer perceptions regarding transaction security on digital marketplaces and to evaluate the impact of community-based educational interventions. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving in-depth interviews with ten active marketplace users in Tasikmalaya City. The findings revealed that consumers’ sense of security is shaped by personal experience, understanding of platform security features, and digital literacy. Prior to the intervention, most participants expressed high concern over data breaches and fraud, often opting for cash-on-delivery (COD) as a form of protection. Following a series of community education sessions—comprised of discussions and safe transaction simulations—significant changes were observed in consumer attitudes and behavior. Participants became more aware of the importance of verifying sellers, reading reviews, and using secure payment methods. The study concludes that localized community education effectively enhances awareness and trust among consumers, especially in areas where digital literacy remains limited.

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of code-switching and code-mixing in YouTube content by Noona Rosa as a linguistic practice in a multilingual digital context. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from several of Noona Rosa's uploaded videos and analyzed in terms of form, function, and influencing factors in the use of Indonesian and Korean code variation. The findings reveal that code-switching is employed to express emotions, reinforce cultural identity, and build rapport with bilingual audiences. Meanwhile, code-mixing commonly appears in the insertion of Korean cultural terms into Indonesian sentence structures, serving as a communicative strategy of identity and cultural meaning preservation. The influencing factors include social context, speaker identity, discussion topics, and emotional expression. These findings contribute significantly to sociolinguistic studies and highlight how digital media serves as a platform for multicultural identity expression.

Understanding nahwu, particularly the grammatical marker raf‘ in the form of ḍammah, is essential for accurately analyzing the structure of Arabic sentences. Ḍammah serves as a marker for the marfū‘ grammatical case in both nouns (ism) and verbs (fi‘l) under specific conditions. Mastery of this aspect is not only beneficial for academic or religious purposes but also offers valuable life lessons. Values such as precision in thinking, carefulness in speech, and clarity in communication are among the wisdoms that can be gained. In practice, understanding the raf‘ sign ḍammah teaches individuals to be more thoughtful in language use and more sensitive to meaning. Beyond improving one’s Arabic language skills, it also fosters a logical and organized mindset. Therefore, learning about the raf‘ sign ḍammah contributes to the development of a disciplined, responsible, and ethical character, both in social, educational, and spiritual contexts.

The evaluation of textbooks is a strategic step to ensure the alignment of instructional materials with curricular goals and the needs of learners. In the context of teaching Arabic at the university level, writing skills (mahārah kitābah) are an essential component in shaping productive and communicative language abilities. This study aims to evaluate the representation and development of writing skills in the Arabic Language Book Marhalah Three, published by the Language Center of UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau in 2018. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a document analysis method. Data were collected through content analysis of the textbook using a foreign language textbook evaluation rubric, which includes aspects such as content, instructional approach, and the suitability of the material to students' competencies. The findings indicate that although the book is organized with a systematic instructional structure and thematically relevant content, the development of writing skills is still primarily based on a structural approach and lacks diverse, communicative exercises. These findings suggest the need for improvement in the textbook by integrating communicative, integrative, and contextual approaches in order to enhance the effectiveness of mahārah kitābah instruction in higher education settings.

The purpose of this study was to determine the Role of the Election Supervisory Body in the Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Tasikmalaya Regency in 2024. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. This method includes observation, interviews and documentation. Data processing techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the role of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) has not been running optimally as seen from four dimensions. First, in the dimension of the role as an entrepreneur, Bawaslu experienced obstacles in understanding organizational issues and building relationships with the KPU, which was caused by miscommunication and weak supervision which led to a Revote. Second, in the dimension of the role as a disturbance handler, Bawaslu has not been effective in dealing with unexpected problems, hampered by the pros and cons of the community and the lack of formal and material evidence to follow up on reports of alleged violations. Third, in the dimension of the role as a resource allocator, the use of funding sources has not been optimal because the Revote resulted in the use of previous funds being inefficient. Finally, in terms of its role as a negotiator, Bawaslu has not been effective when participating in negotiations because it often takes a long time. The efforts that must be made are to strengthen communication and coordination between Bawaslu and the KPU, increase transparency and supervision during the election process, improve the system for collecting evidence of alleged violations and accelerate the negotiation process so that the decision-making process runs more efficiently. Based on the results of the study above, it can be concluded that the Role of the Election Supervisory Body in the Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Tasikmalaya Regency in 2024, overall, is still not running optimally.    

This study examines the beauty of the language of the Qur'an through the balaghah device, especially in the aspect of muhassinat lafziyyah with a focus on the iqtibas technique in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 269. Muhassinat lafziyyah is a form of embellishment of words that beautify the sound, rhythm, and structure of language, while strengthening the message conveyed. One of the important elements in it is iqtibas, which is the citation of the words of the Qur'an or Hadith in another sentence structure without explicitly mentioning the source. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method that refers to primary sources such as books on balaghah science, as well as secondary sources in the form of scientific articles and journals. Based on the results of the analysis, QS. Al-Baqarah verse 269 is categorized as a form of Iqtibas Kulli, where the quotation is done in full without changing the words. This verse emphasizes that wisdom is a special gift from Allah that includes depth of knowledge, accuracy of thinking, and the wise practice of knowledge in life. Thus, this study confirms that the beauty of the wording of the Qur'an is not only aesthetically valuable, but also strengthens the content of deep meaning, showing the synergy between the beauty of language and the depth of content in conveying divine messages.

Scriptwriters play an important role in effectively conveying messages and goals to the audience. A good script is able to build a logical storyline, convey a message implicitly and explicitly, and leave a deep impression on the audience. The goal to be achieved in writing this final project report is to explain the process of writing a script using narrative techniques in a feature video. In this final project, the script writing uses narrative techniques with a descriptive approach. In script writing, narrative techniques are applied in scripts as the main approach in building a structured storyline based on the attachment of cause-and-effect relationships between events. The narrative structure is divided into three stages, namely the preliminary stage (opening), the intermediate stage, and the closing stage (solution). The preliminary stage serves to introduce the phenomenon, the middle stage discusses the phenomenon more deeply, and the closing stage provides solutions to the problems raised. The application of this narrative technique proves that a good structure in scriptwriting is able to convey the message in a video feature effectively. The screenwriter has completed the tasks and roles in making an animated video entitled Kopi Nikmat Tantangan Hidup Sehat. 

The purpose of this study is to examine how deep learning influences students’ mathematical critical thinking skills. In mastering mathematics—which requires reasoning, analysis, and systematic review—critical thinking is essential to address the challenges of the 21st century. This research employs a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group model. The subjects of the study were eighth-grade junior high school students, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The main instruments used were a mathematical critical thinking skills test and a learning activity observation sheet. The findings indicate that students who participated in instruction based on a deep learning approach showed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills compared to those who received conventional instruction. Unlike students who underwent standard learning methods, those exposed to deep learning strategies experienced a notable enhancement in their critical thinking abilities. Based on these findings, the implementation of deep learning is recommended more broadly in mathematics classroom instruction.

The research method used in this study is the experimental research method. The design in this study uses Two Group Pretest Posttest. This Two Group Pretest Posttest only has measurement result data, namely pretest and posttest measurements. the results of the t value in the experimental group using a plastic ball are -19.312> 1.7613 and in the experimental group using a rubber ball are -18.862> 1.7613. From the results of the T test table, the comparison of the results of training using plastic balls and rubber balls is to see the average value (Mean) on the pretest results using a plastic ball, the average value is 15.33, the posttest using a plastic ball obtained an average value of 27.13 with a difference in increase of 11.8. While the average value (Mean) on the pretest results of the exercise using a rubber ball, the average value was 15.27, the posttest using a rubber ball obtained an average value of 27.73 with a difference of 12.46. Thus, it can be concluded that training using a rubber ball is more effective in improving upper passing skills compared to training using a plastic ball.

Small-scale industries such as tofu and tempeh factories play a significant role in the local economy but often face serious issues such as workplace accidents. This study aims to describe the working conditions and their relation to unsafe acts by workers at the XYZ tofu and tempeh factory. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through direct observation and interviews with four workers. The findings show that a hot and noisy work environment, poor ventilation, and disorganized workspace affect workers’ behavior in carrying out tasks without using proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Unsafe work practices have become a common habit due to factors such as routine behavior, limited facilities, and demands for work efficiency. The study concludes that an unsupportive work environment is directly associated with the increase in unsafe behavior. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the working environment, including ventilation, workspace layout, and adequate provision of PPE, as well as to increase workers’ awareness of occupational health and safety through regular training and outreach. These measures are essential to foster a safe and healthy work culture in small-scale industrial settings.
