This study examines the construction of reality and violations of broadcasting ethics in the Xpose Uncensored Trans7 program in 2025 which displays a negative image of pesantren and kiai. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with the framing analysis of Pan and Kosicki's model, this study reveals the existence of tendentious narrative and visual manipulation, thus giving the impression of harassment of religious symbols. The broadcasts are considered to violate the principles of balance and social responsibility as stipulated in the Broadcasting Code of Conduct and Broadcast Program Standards (P3SPS). The public reaction that emerged through the hashtag #BoikotTRANS7 reflects the increasing public awareness of the importance of ethics in broadcasting practices. This phenomenon shows that the media not only functions as a conveyor of information, but also has a moral responsibility in shaping public opinion in a fair and balanced manner. This study emphasizes the urgency of increasing media literacy and ethical sensitivity in the production of broadcast content, especially those related to the representation of religious groups. Thus, the results of this study are expected to be a reference for broadcasting institutions, media regulators, and the public in encouraging more ethical and responsible broadcasting practices in the digital era.

The key factor in determining success in learning is assessment, as it serves as the teacher’s process for making decisions regarding students’ academic achievement. Therefore, assessments need to be developed to become more systematic and valid. Monoton assessment instruments that are not based on students' developmental stages often eliminate crucial elements in learning, such as creativity capacity, critical thinking, and life skills competence. This research aims for educators to develop a more comprehensive and diverse assessment system, as well as constructive assessment and feedback processes, which are also becoming increasingly important aspects for facilitating more effective and efficient evaluations. Whereas this is study employs a library research method. Drawing on books, journal articles, and publications listed in the references. In this way, all available sources of information can be utilized optimally in generating ideas relevant to the research. The findings of this study on developing assessment at the elementary and madrasah ibtidaiyah (MI/SD) level highlight that teachers’ efforts to evaluate students should involve three types of assessment tools: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Furthermore, the development of assessments at the MI/SD level can be advanced through competency-based evaluation, the integration of technology and the enhancement of teachers’ skills. As a result, the implementation of assessments can be carried out more systematically, efficiently and effectively

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of students' civic resilience through Civic Education (PKn) after the COVID-19 pandemic using qualitative methods based on literature review. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed students' social interaction patterns and learning methods, which have an impact on their social engagement and resilience as citizens. This study collects and evaluates literature related to the challenges of Civic Education learning and strategies for strengthening civic resilience in the post-pandemic context. The results show that participatory learning approaches, digital literacy, strengthening social values, and community service activities are key elements in strengthening students' cognitive and social resilience. Learning that integrates digital technology provides opportunities for students to participate more actively in social and political discussions. On the other hand, community service activities based on civic values ​​help students develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. The implications of this research encourage the development of a Civic Education curriculum that is adaptive to current social and technological dynamics so that students become resilient and active citizens. This study also recommends that Civic Education be continuously updated with a more interactive and relevant approach to current needs, to enhance students' ability to participate constructively in the global community.

Mathematics anxiety is a psychological barrier that negatively affects students’ performance and self-confidence. A valid and reliable measurement tool is required to identify this condition accurately. This study aims to examine the construct validity of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale 30 (MARS-30) using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The research employed first-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) through R software with a simulated sample of 300 respondents. The findings revealed that the overall measurement model achieved excellent fit indices, as indicated by Normed χ², RMSEA, SRMR, and CFI, all within the optimal range. Nevertheless, only 8 out of 30 items (26.7%) met the validity criteria, while the remaining 22 items were found invalid. This result suggests that although the global model fit was adequate, most items of MARS-30 did not consistently represent the construct of mathematics anxiety. The implication of this study highlights the necessity of revising the instrument by refining item wording, adjusting indicators, and conducting further testing to ensure stronger construct validity. A more valid instrument will enable educators and researchers to design targeted pedagogical interventions for reducing mathematics anxiety and supporting students’ learning outcomes.

This study investigates the structural relationships among Product Quality (PQ), Brand Image (BI), Word of Mouth (WOM), and Repurchase Intention (RI) to empirically understand the sequential mechanisms driving consumer loyalty in a highly competitive market. Grounded conceptually in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) paradigm, the research posits that PQ acts as an external antecedent influencing RI through the mediating cognitive and behavioural constructs of BI and WOM. Data were collected from a sample of 187 Weber product consumers in Surabaya and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The empirical results confirm all hypothesized direct and indirect relationships. Specifically, PQ significantly and positively influences both BI (β=0.337, p<0.000) and WOM (β=0.351, p<0.000). Furthermore, both BI and WOM significantly predict RI, with WOM (β=0.498, p<0.000) demonstrating a markedly stronger effect compared to BI (β=0.414, p<0.000). The model successfully explains a moderate 57% of the variance in Repurchase Intention. These findings underscore the strategic imperative for management to prioritize superior product quality, which organically fosters a positive brand perception and stimulates potent word-of-mouth promotion identified as the most critical driver of repeated purchases. Future research is encouraged to integrate additional affective factors, such as customer satisfaction or perceived price fairness, to enhance the explanatory power of the consumer loyalty model.

This research was conducted to evaluate the weld joint quality of V-groove and double V-groove configurations on ASTM A36 low carbon steel using the Self Shielded Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW-SS) method. ASTM A36 was selected as the base material due to its favorable mechanical properties, excellent weldability, and wide application in construction and manufacturing. The welding process was carried out on steel plates with a thickness of 10 mm using E71T-1C wire, under controlled parameters of 140 A current, 24 V voltage, and 1G welding position. The weld quality was assessed through Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT), tensile testing, and bending testing. The Dye Penetrant Testing DPT results showed that the double V-groove joints exhibited fewer and smaller surface defects compared to the V-groove joints, indicating better weld homogeneity. Tensile testing demonstrated an average maximum strength of 277.645 MPa for the V-groove and 301.904 MPa for the double V-groove, reflecting an improvement of approximately 8.7% in the double V-groove. The bending tests revealed that the double V-groove joints were able to maintain structural integrity without significant cracks, while the V-groove joints tended to show defect indications under bending loads. Based on these findings, the double V-groove configuration is considered superior in terms of both strength and toughness, and therefore recommended for structural and manufacturing applications requiring high-quality joints in ASTM A36 low carbon steel.

This study examines the theological foundations of pastoral counseling in Christian Religious Education (CRE) within the digital era, emphasizing the integration of Trinitarian theology, adolescent developmental psychology, and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20. Digitalization has reshaped adolescent struggles, introducing challenges such as cyberbullying, social media addiction, and virtual identity crises that demand contextual and transformative pastoral responses. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study synthesizes systematic theology, developmental psychology, and transformative pedagogy to construct a conceptual framework for CRE teachers in guiding the digital generation. Findings reveal that Trinitarian theology provides a holistic foundation: God the Father affirms authentic identity beyond digital validation, Christ the Redeemer restores identity from digital trauma, and the Holy Spirit guides character formation for wise engagement in the digital world. Integrating theology with developmental psychology enables a deeper understanding of the digital generation’s struggles and highlights the need for both theological depth and psychological insight. The proposed framework includes five components: Trinitarian foundation, contextual diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, supportive community formation, and the use of digital media as a ministry tool. This integrative and transformative model aims to foster holistic transformation—cognitive, affective, behavioral, and spiritual—preparing adolescents to become mature disciples who bear witness to Christ in digital spaces.

The principle of proportionality plays an important role in ensuring a balance of rights and obligations between the parties to a reciprocal agreement. In the context of Indonesian contract law, this principle serves as a mechanism to prevent imbalances that could harm one of the parties, especially in commercial and complex contracts. This study uses a normative juridical approach with a literature review method, which involves analysis of relevant laws and regulations and case studies. This approach allows researchers to explore the application of the principle of proportionality in various types of reciprocal agreements, including franchise agreements and construction service contracts. For example, a study by Susanto et al. (2021) highlights how the principle of proportionality is applied in construction service contracts to ensure a fair distribution of responsibilities between contractors and clients. The results of the analysis show that the consistent application of the principle of proportionality can improve fairness in contractual relationships. In franchise agreements, the application of this principle helps to create a balance between the rights and obligations of the franchisor and franchisee, who often have different bargaining positions. Thus, the principle of proportionality serves not only as a legal principle, but also as a practical tool for achieving fairness in contractual practice

The rapid growth of the gaming industry demands innovation in map design to maintain dynamic and non-repetitive gameplay experiences. This study aims to implement the Random Walk algorithm to generate procedural maps for Scrollbearer, a roguelike game developed using C# in Unity. The algorithm constructs random corridors and rooms from a starting point, integrated with dead end handling and Corridor First mechanics to ensure map connectivity. The research applies a Research and Development (R&D) approach with quantitative evaluation through Likert-scale questionnaires. Test results demonstrate that procedural maps significantly enhance replayability, with 79.5% of players preferring this mode due to unique layout variations and higher challenge levels (score 4.07/5). Exploration satisfaction in the procedural mode also outperformed the static mode (score 4.34/5). These findings validate the effectiveness of the Random Walk algorithm in creating dynamic maps for roguelike games, while providing a foundation for future enhancements such as biome diversity and random events.

The era of globalization is an era of quality competition, where only thosebwith high competence will be able to compete in the free market. Therefore, developing high-quality human resources is something that cannot be compromised. Education that supports development in this era is education that can foster students’ potential’ enabling them toface and overcome life’s challenges. Thus, in the learning process, teachers should not only serve as models or sources of knowledge but also act as learning managers. As learning managers, teachers play an important role in creating a learning environment that allows students to learn confortably and effectively. Based on observations at SMA Negeri 2 Taniwel, it was found that students in class X-2 have low learning outcomes in sociology. The writer’s observation in class indicated that sociology learning was dominated by lecture methods, resulting in students being less active during the learning process. According to research conducted by Al Muchtar (1991), learning in social studies education does not sufficiently simulate students to be actively involved in the learning process. Furthermore, the teaching and learning process of social studies carried out bye teachers has not been able to faster a learning culture among students, wich in turn significantly affects their learning achievement and outcomes. To support active learning strategies, teachers can apply various relevant learning models. Therefore, the learning process will become more varied, innovative, and constructive, creating interaction between teachers and students, among students themselves, and between students and other learning resources.

The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata / KKN) carried out by students of Nusa Nipa University Indonesia in Wolorega Village represents a community service initiative aimed at strengthening village identity and improving public service accessibility. The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata / KKN) of Nusa Nipa University Indonesia is one of the compulsory academic activities that reflects the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, particularly in the field of community service. This program aims to provide real contributions to village development, improve the quality of public services, and strengthen the relationship between students and the local community. One of the work programs carried out by the KKN group in Wolorega Village was the creation of a village name board as an identity marker for the Village Office.                                                                                                                                The background of this activity lies in the absence of a proper and representative village name board, which often caused difficulties for both local residents and visitors in locating the village office. This situation affected the effectiveness of administrative services. Therefore, the KKN students took the initiative to design and construct a new village name board to strengthen the village’s identity and improve public service facilities.  The implementation method included several stages: coordination with the village head and officials, designing the name board, procuring materials and equipment, constructing and painting the board, and finally installing it in front of the Wolorega Village Office. The entire process was carried out in collaboration with village officials and with active participation from the local community. The results of this activity show that the village name board was successfully built and installed. Its presence provides significant benefits, such as making it easier for the community to locate the Wolorega Village Office, clarifying the village’s official identity, and enhancing the image of the village government as a well-organized and professional institution. In addition, this activity received positive appreciation from village officials and the community because it effectively addressed an existing problem.  In conclusion, the creation of the village name board is not only a physical facility improvement but also a tangible form of contribution from the students of Nusa Nipa University Indonesia in supporting village development and improving public services in Wolorega Village.  

The Indonesian government has long faced complex armed conflicts, particularly in Papua, involving security forces and Armed Criminal Groups (KKB). This conflict has had a major impact, not only in terms of casualties involving the military and civil society, but also in terms of broader social and political impacts. A more security-oriented approach by the government is often questioned, because on the one hand, it exacerbates human rights violations, creates a negative stigma against the Papuan people, and further limits the space for constructive political dialogue. This ongoing tension has worsened relations between the central government and Papuans, who have long felt marginalized. In addressing these issues, it is important for governments to develop a more holistic approach, by strengthening protection of civil society, increasing transparency and accountability, and opening up space for inclusive dialogue between all relevant parties. A sustainable settlement requires not only security management, but also serious attention to the well-being, rights of the Papuan people, and recognition of their cultural diversity and political aspirations. Going forward, approaches that prioritize dialogue and reconciliation can open up opportunities to achieve a more just and sustainable peace.

Maintenance and repair work in a building or structure is not only in low places, but also in high places which require assistive devices. The assistive device in question is scaffolding. The design of this scaffolding begins with a literature study followed by data collection in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Semarang State Polytechnic to obtain data on the need for height assistive devices which are used as a reference for making electric scaffolding. The purpose of this study is to design an electric scaffolding with a capacity of 300 kg and to perform the performance of the electric scaffolding made.
