This research aims to examine the application of weaving techniques combined with macrame in making hoodie jackets made from used denim, as an effort to support sustainable fashion. The background of this research is the increase in textile waste, especially used denim, which has not been maximally utilized. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), with the stages of design design, making samples of woven techniques, validation by experts, and making prototypes. The technique applied was two-axis plaiting combined with macrame knots using braided cotton rope. The results showed that the combination of these two techniques could be effectively applied to the hoodie jacket structure. The resulting prototype proved to be functional, comfortable to wear, and has high aesthetic value. This research is in line with previous findings such as Syaani (2020), which showed the role of webbing as a structural and decorative element, as well as Tiara Lugina (2015) and Mayarani (2019), which highlighted the visual strength of traditional techniques in modern fashion. Based on the results of the research, it is suggested that pressing of the seams is done before turning to prevent thickening, and macrame knots are locked on the lining to make it more stable. The results of this study show that the combination of webbing and macrame with used denim is effectively applied in the design of an innovative and environmentally friendly jacket.

Customer Loyalty is critically influenced by several factors, including Service Quality, Customer Trust, and Price.1 This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous influence of Service Quality (X_1), Customer Trust (X_2), and Price (X_3) on Customer Loyalty (Y) toward Maxim online transportation services in Semarang City.1 Utilizing a quantitative associative method, data were collected from a sample of 100 Maxim users (N=100) via incidental sampling and analyzed using multiple linear regression (SPSS).1 The analysis confirmed that all three independent variables positively and significantly influence Customer Loyalty (all t_{hitung} > 1.98498).1 Service Quality (X_1) was determined to be the most dominant factor (\beta = 0.400, t=4.500), highlighting that driver performance, service assurance, and responsiveness are the primary drivers of long-term loyalty., 10 The overall regression model demonstrated a strong explanatory power, with an estimated Adjusted R^2 of 0.650, indicating that 65.0\% of the variation in Customer Loyalty is explained by these three factors. Managerial implications suggest focusing resources on continuous service improvement and maintaining high integrity (Trust) to convert consumer satisfaction into sustainable loyalty.

This material provides an in-depth overview of the fundamental distinctions between Islamic banks and conventional banks, covering their underlying principles, contract types, operational mechanisms, legal frameworks, and organizational structures. Islamic banks operate based on Islamic values derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, and the rulings of the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), emphasizing strict prohibitions on riba, gharar, and maysir. Contracts such as wadiah, mudharabah, musyarakah, murabahah, ijarah, salam, and istishna’ are applied to promote fairness and profit-sharing. In contrast, conventional banks rely on positive law and interest-based systems as their primary source of income. Legally, Islamic banks are supervised by the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) to ensure compliance with sharia principles, while conventional banks adhere solely to general financial regulations set by authorities like the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia. The operations of Islamic banks include fund mobilization, financing, and financial services without the use of interest, whereas conventional banks earn revenue from the interest spread between deposits and loans. Although both bank types share a similar organizational structure, Islamic banks incorporate an additional layer of sharia oversight. Overall, Islamic banks aim to balance profitability with ethical and spiritual values (falah), while conventional banks primarily focus on maximizing financial returns. This material highlights Islamic banking as an ethical alternative within modern financial practices, promoting justice, sustainability, and broader economic well-being.

Management of household waste in Final Disposal Sites (TPA) faces a serious problem, where most of the waste accumulates and is difficult to decompose due to its complex nature. This condition substantially inhibits natural decomposition processes and limits the effectiveness of recycling efforts. Pre-processing operations, such as sorting and crushing, which are still dominated by manual methods, are proven to be inefficient, high-risk, and require large allocations of land resources and manpower. Therefore, automated technological innovation is needed to facilitate the efficient separation of organic components from inorganic materials (packaging). This research was conducted to determine the design and structural strength analysis of a hammer mill type depackaging machine, carried out using Solidworks software. Structural analysis simulation utilizes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine the structural strength of the machine. The specifications of the hammer mill type depackaging machine include a capacity of 3000 kg/hour, a hammer mill input power of 12 KW, and a rotational speed of 2500 rpm with a torque of 34.54 Nm. Meanwhile, the screw conveyor input power is 0.75 KW and the rotational speed is 20 rpm. The FEA simulation analysis results for the hammer mill type depackaging machine showed that the maximum Von Mises stress value recorded is 3,022×10^7   N⁄m^2 , the maximum displacement value measured is very minimal, namely 2,793×10^(-1)  mm, and the Factor of Safety (FOS) obtained is 8.3. This FOS value significantly exceeds the required minimum safety limit (>3), confirming that the machine design has optimal reliability, fatigue resistance, and structural integrity for operation under intensive working conditions at the TPA. The conclusion of this study indicates that the engineering design of this hammer mill type depackaging machine is safe and meets structural technical requirements to proceed to the implementation phase, potentially becoming a sustainable technological solution in improving the efficiency of waste pre-processing.

Modern students face high academic, social, and personal pressures, but Christian Religious Education has not yet maximized the potential of religious-based resilience. This study aims to: (1) analyze how the biblical values of faith, hope, and love can strengthen the components of students' psychological resilience in the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions; and (2) identify the integration mechanism between biblical teachings and psychological strategies in Christian Religious Education learning that can increase students' resilience in facing academic and personal stress. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach to various journals, articles, and related academic sources. The results of the study show that the biblical values of faith, hope, and love are fundamental pillars that strengthen students' psychological resilience as a whole. Faith provides a foundation of self-confidence and personal competence, hope activates optimism and sustained motivation, while love builds healthy social relationships and essential emotional support. These three values work synergistically to strengthen students' emotional regulation, problem analysis, empathy, and self-efficacy. The deep integration of biblical teachings and psychology in PAK learning through biblical narratives, secure parenting relationships, supportive communities, and reflective feedback has proven effective in holistically improving student resilience. In conclusion, PAK learning that explicitly integrates biblical values with psychological resilience strategies is a transformative instrument for shaping students into individuals who not only perform well academically but are also spiritually strong, psychologically resilient, and ready to face complex life situations in accordance with the principles of 1 Corinthians 13:13 regarding faith, hope, and love

The process of signing on and off a seafarer's book for ship crew is a vital stage in the shipping world that requires thorough preparation and orderly implementation to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the ship. Signing on a seafarer's book involves recording and confirming the date and location of boarding the ship in the seafarer's book, which serves as official proof that the document holder has joined the ship's crew. Generally, this stage is accompanied by the preparation of a Seafarer's Employment Agreement (PKL) containing salary details and obtaining approval from the Harbor Master. Conversely, sign off is a procedure carried out when the work contract period in the PKL ends, or earlier for certain reasons such as late salary payments or discomfort in the work. The purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles that arise in the process of managing the sign-on/off of seafarer's crew books at PT. Baruna Mitra Segara Lines, Bandar Lampung. In compiling this paper, the author applies two approaches, namely the field observation method (field study) and the library study method. Both methods are used to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism for managing the sign-on/off of seafarer's books, while also identifying the obstacles that arise so that the company can maximize the process. The research findings reveal that there are obstacles in the implementation of the sign-on/off of seafarer's books that are not fully in accordance with procedures. However, this process still has a positive and significant impact on the efficiency of the departure time of ship crews. This finding confirms that improving procedures and enforcing operational standards are key to improving the quality of document management services at PT. Baruna Mitra Segara Lines

The Heritage Center (BHP) is a government institution under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia that has a strategic role in civil law, especially related to the management of heritage property. Rooted in colonial regulations and regulated in the Civil Code, BHP is authorized to represent and protect the legal interests of individuals whose whereabouts are unknown, immature, or legally incompetent. This study aims to analyze the implementation of BHP's duties in managing heritage assets based on the provisions of the Civil Code and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. The method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach and literature study. The results of the study show that BHP's position is as a subject of public law that carries out private legal functions. BHP's authority includes the management of unmanaged legacies, acting as a guardian or guardian, and acting as a curator in bankruptcy cases. Despite having a strong legal basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of BHP's duties in the field has not been optimal. The obstacles faced include limited resources, lack of public understanding, and coordination between agencies that has not been maximized. Therefore, systematic improvement efforts are needed through institutional capacity building, legal socialization, and strengthening regulations and cross-sector synergy to support the effective and sustainable implementation of BHP's tasks.

One of the factors that determine the success of a character-based language learning process is the interaction between teachers and students. Polite language from students can show that they have the expected character, in addition to showing that teachers have helped students behave with polite language. Classes often do not meet expectations. Many students are still unable to pronounce good words. In the last two decades, there has been a significant decline in the implementation of polite language originating from Brebes Regency. Children believe that using impolite language is acceptable to their friends and following trends in their environment because of the abundance of impolite language in society. This causes people to use Indonesian less. The purpose of this study is to determine the politeness of Indonesian language students in interacting with teachers in grade IV SDN 1 Karangdempel. This study uses a qualitative research type. The approach used in this study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The location of this research is SDN 1 Karangdempel, Losari District, Brebes Regency, Central Java, Indonesia 52212. Based on research that has been done on the analysis of the form of politeness in Indonesian language in interacting with teachers in the learning process is polite. Because, in the implementation of the learning process can include several maxims including: Maxim of wisdom/wisdom, maxim of generosity, maxim of praise/appreciation, maxim of humility/simplicity, maxim of agreement/agreement, and maxim of sympathy. From several existing maxims it can be concluded that the maxim of humility/simplicity is the one most frequently found in the data of politeness in Indonesian language in class IV SDN 1 Karangdempel, Brebes Regency, because that maxim is the one that occurs most often in learning activities.

Rapid and precise handling in determining fault locations is essential to accelerate post-fault recovery and minimize economic losses caused by power outages. Several methods employed to identify fault locations include Single Ended and Double Ended analysis. This paper discusses the Selective Mode Double Ended Fault Locator Method, an enhancement of the IEEE C37.114 Double Ended method. This approach involves selecting maximum fault data values for Near Side (NS) and Far Side (FS) calculations, taking into account the differential or angle difference of the sequence between the two sides. The Double Ended calculation results from the total sample values are used to determine the mode, which serves as the final output of this Fault Locator method. This method is designed to identify faults and their locations with high accuracy and speed. Based on the research findings, the Selective Mode Double Ended (SMDE) method provides more accurate fault locator analysis compared to the Single Ended and Double Ended methods. The accuracy achieved with the Single Ended method is 90.9%, with the Double Ended method reaching 94.9%, and with the Selective Mode Double Ended (SMDE) method achieving 99.9%.

This research aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous influence of Leadership (X₁), Work Motivation (X₂), Compensation (X₃), and Work Environment (X₄) on Employee Performance (Y) at PT. Kalisari Putra Semarang, a company in the transportation sector. Using a quantitative associative method, data were collected from a census of 85 permanent employees (N=85) through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression (SPSS). The results confirmed that all four independent variables significantly and positively influence employee performance (all tₕᵢᵗᵘⁿg > tₜₐᵦᵉᵡ 1.66). Leadership (X₁) was found to be the most dominant factor, with the highest regression coefficient (β = 0.373), followed by Compensation (β = 0.182), Work Environment (β = 0.145), and Work Motivation (β = 0.110). The model demonstrated a strong explanatory power, with the Coefficient of Determination (R²) reaching 0.898, indicating that 89.80% of the variation in employee performance is explained by these factors. The main managerial implication is that improving leadership quality and competency is the most critical factor for maximizing employee performance in this company.

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) play a crucial role in the nation's economy, as shown by their participation in overseas employment and the remittances they send back. Nevertheless, PMI frequently encounter challenges such as abuse, exploitation, breaches of contracts, and limited access to legal protections. The comprehensive legal structure designed to ensure their inclusive safety before, during, and after their employment is laid out in Law No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. This research aims to analyze the actual practice of legal protections available to PMI, in light of statutory requirements, and to highlight any obstacles encountered in its application. A normative legal research method is used in this study, employing both legislative and theoretical frameworks, and it is informed by relevant academic literature, laws, and judicial rulings. The findings reveal that while Law No. 18 of 2017 outlines thorough protection protocols, its real-world execution faces hurdles such as insufficient oversight, poor cooperation among agencies, and a general lack of legal knowledge among PMI. Consequently, it is essential to enhance institutions, elevate the quality of protective services, and maximize the effectiveness of Indonesian representatives abroad. This study aims to contribute to the development of more equitable and efficient regulations for the safeguarding of migrant workers.

This research examines how cost characteristics influence the relationship between target costing and time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) approaches and their subsequent impact on corporate competitiveness. Using a descriptive analytical approach, the researcher collected data through a structured questionnaire, which was then processed and analyzed using SPSS software. The study aimed to test the validity of the proposed hypothesis, which suggested that a standalone approach—either target costing or TDABC—fails to sufficiently enhance competitiveness. However, the integration of both approaches proved to be beneficial, allowing companies to improve their competitive positioning by reducing overall costs. The research concludes that combining target costing and TDABC can create synergies that better align with the goal of cost reduction. As a recommendation, companies are encouraged to integrate these cost management approaches to maximize their competitive advantage in the market and optimize cost efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the levels of reducing sugars and sucrose in Trigona honey using the Luff Schoorl method as a key parameter for assessing honey quality and authenticity. Trigona honey, produced by stingless bees, possesses unique physicochemical characteristics that differ from Apis mellifera honey, thus requiring further scientific investigation of its sugar profile. The analysis was performed at the BSPJI Pekanbaru Laboratory using a titrimetric procedure based on the Luff Schoorl reagent, involving the determination of reducing sugars and sucrose following hydrolysis. The results revealed that the reducing sugar content of the Trigona honey sample was 31.75%, while the sucrose content was 9.6%. These values do not comply with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 8664:2018), which requires a minimum of 55% reducing sugars and a maximum of 5% sucrose in honey. The non-conformity is presumed to be influenced by factors such as nectar source, high moisture content, premature harvesting, and storage conditions. Nevertheless, the deviation from the standard does not necessarily indicate adulteration but may reflect the natural characteristics of stingless bee honey. This research provides scientific evidence that may contribute to the evaluation of specific quality standards for Trigona honey in Indonesia and serve as a reference for future studies related to authentication and standardization of stingless bee honey products.

Digital literacy is a crucial competency for teachers. Accelerating digital literacy for elementary school teachers is not only about mastering digital tools and applications, but also about changing mindsets and approaches to teaching. There are three impacts for teachers and students if teachers are unable to master digital competencies: 1) teachers are less able to keep up with the latest technological developments; 2) teachers are unable to filter and process the latest information, resulting in a tendency towards misinformation; 3) students are less able to absorb the latest information and thus misuse the wrong sources of information. Given these impacts, training and mentoring are needed for elementary school teachers in Songgom District to acquire the right digital skills so that elementary school teachers can maximize their potential. Elementary school teachers in Brebes Regency still do not have good digital competencies. If left unchecked, more and more teachers will lack digital competency. This can lead to a lack of technology-related information that students can use to support their learning. Furthermore, inadequate technology skills can hinder differentiated learning within the independent curriculum. The Community Service Program, initiated by professors and lecturers with expertise in digital literacy and language, is highly relevant to the needs of teachers in Brebes Regency. Elementary school teachers are developing digital competencies by implementing interactive quiz-based learning and Canva-based learning media. These competencies can be applied by teachers in the classroom. Students are expected to absorb the material more meaningfully. Learning through the application of digital literacy by teachers will increase student interest and engagement in learning the material.

This study aims to analyze the acoustic characteristics of coconut-fiber-based Cement-Bonded Particleboard (CBPB) through measurements of the Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC, α) and Transmission Loss (TL). CBPB samples were fabricated with thickness variations of 12, 16, and 20 mm and tested using an impedance tube in accordance with ISO 10534-2:1998 for SAC and ASTM E90-09 (2016) for TL measurements. The study examined the effect of panel thickness on sound absorption and transmission loss across a frequency range of 125–4000 Hz. The results showed that the α value increased with both frequency and panel thickness, reaching a maximum of 0.78 at frequencies of 2500–3150 Hz for the 20 mm panel. The TL measurements indicated that the highest transmission loss reached 42 dB at a frequency of 4000 Hz. These findings suggest that thicker CBPB panels provide better acoustic performance, both in absorbing sound and reducing transmission. Overall, coconut-fiber-based CBPB demonstrates strong potential as an eco-friendly structural acoustic material suitable for applications in sustainable building design, interior partitions, and noise control solutions.
