The rupiah plays a vital role as a symbol of national identity and sovereignty, but awareness among rural communities about its function and importance is often limited. In Kutalimbaru Village, the main challenges identified are low monetary literacy, which results in physical damage to money and a lack of awareness about counterfeit money. Through the Real Work Lecture (KKN) program, community service efforts were carried out with the aim of internalizing the values of “Love, Pride, Understanding (CBP) of the Rupiah.” The approach used was community-based education through interactive workshops and practical demonstrations on money care techniques and an introduction to the security features of the Rupiah. Findings in the field show a transformation in the community's attitude; from being indifferent to being more careful in handling paper money and better understanding the role of the Rupiah in economic stability. This program has succeeded in increasing the financial literacy of citizens while strengthening the spirit of nationalism through appreciation of the national currency. Keywords: community empowerment, micro businesses, tempeh products, entrepreneurship, Sialaman Village.

The problem addressed in this research is the suboptimal implementation of the Community-Based Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (PAMSIMAS) in Koili Village. The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation of the PAMSIMAS Program based on Donald P. Warwick’s policy implementation theory, which includes organizational capacity, information, support, and the distribution of potential resources. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving informants from the local government, village officials, PAMSIMAS management, and community members, both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. The findings indicate that the PAMSIMAS Program has been implemented; however, it has not yet been fully optimized. Organizational capacity and information dissemination have been implemented, but limitations remain in implementers’ capacity and in the equitable distribution of information. Support from the village government and the community is relatively good; nevertheless, coordination and the distribution of potential resources still need improvement. This research recommends that future researchers examine the implementation of PAMSIMAS on a broader regional scale and incorporate a more in-depth analysis of sustainability and community participation.

Pregnancy complications remain a major health problem contributing to high maternal morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Factors influencing the occurrence of pregnancy complications include the level of maternal knowledge and advanced maternal age. Advanced age increases the risk of pregnancy disorders due to decreased reproductive function, while low knowledge limits a mother’s ability to recognize danger signs and take appropriate preventive measures. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and advanced maternal age and the occurrence of pregnancy complications in the working area of Bonebobakal Public Health Center, Banggai Regency. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 41 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge level and maternal age with the occurrence of pregnancy complications. Health education and regular pregnancy monitoring are necessary to reduce the risk of complications and improve maternal and fetal safety..

Content commodification has become a dominant phenomenon within Indonesia’s digital ecosystem, where communication messages are no longer oriented toward use value such as education and enlightenment, but toward exchange value determined by algorithms, virality, and monetization potential. This transformation is evident in the behavior of content creators, online media, politicians, and government institutions that adjust their message formats to align with the logic of platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Political content during the 2024 Election, clickbait practices in online journalism, and the aestheticization of public campaigns such as Bangga Buatan Indonesia(BBI) and Gerakan Kamis Pakai Lokal (GASPOL) demonstrate that content today is produced primarily to capture attention rather than to strengthen social literacy. Using a constructivist paradigm and a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes how exchange value dominates meaning-making processes in digital spaces. Through the lenses of media political economy, cultural industries, and surveillance capitalism, the study shows that content commodification shifts the function of communication from a deliberative public sphere to a commercial arena governed by algorithms. These findings highlight the urgent need for digital literacy and communication ethics to safeguard the social role of media in Indonesia.

The increasing need for electrical energy in Indonesia encourages the development of new renewable energy (EBT), including hydroelectric power plants (PLTA) as an environmentally friendly solution. This research was conducted at the Mentawa Dam, West Toili District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi, to analyze the potential of water energy that can be utilized as a source of micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH). This dam currently functions as irrigation and a tourist attraction, but has significant potential to generate sustainable electrical energy. The research methods include measuring water discharge using the float method, measuring the height of the water fall (head) with an altimeter and GPS, and analyzing the potential for electrical power using the formula P = η ⋅ ρ ⋅ g ⋅ Q ⋅ H. The measurement results show an average water discharge of 3.01 m³ / s and a water fall (head) of 6.56 meters. With a turbine efficiency of 80%, the potential electrical power that can be generated reaches 154.76 kW. This study recommends the use of Kaplan turbines in Mentawa Dam, which are ideal for large discharge conditions and low to medium heads, and can adapt to discharge fluctuations, making it an optimal choice to maximize energy potential. This research is expected to provide sustainable energy solutions for the people of Toili Barat District and support the development of the tourism sector.

Pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia pada hakikatnya adalah mengenali peserta didik tentang keterampilan berbahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar sesuai tujuan dan fungsinya. Mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia bertujuan agar peserta didik memiliki kemampuan berkomunikasi secara efektif dan efisien, baik secara lisan maupun tulisan,bangga menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa persatuan dan bahasa negara, memahami bahasa Indonesia dan menggunakannya dengan tepat dan benar untuk berbagai tujuan, menggunakan bahasa Indonesia untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berkomunikasi secara  intelektual,emosional dan sosial, mengunakan dan memanfaatkan karya sastra untuk memperluas wawasan, budi pekerti, serta meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan berbahasa, dan menghargai dan membanggakan sastra Indonesia.

Dewasa ini penggunaan bahasa Indonesia baik dan benar dalam komunikasi siswa dirasa semakin berkurang. Menurunnya semangat untuk menggunakan bahasa secara baik dan benar saat ini menjadi topik yang penting untuk dikaji. Maka dari itu, sebagai pemakai bahasa Indonesia selayaknya memiliki rasa kebanggaan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia. Namun di lingkup perguruan tinggi, sikap berbahasa yang positif belum sepenuhnya dimiliki oleh sebagian besar mahasiswa. Kesadaran rasa setia, bangga memiliki, dan memelihara bahasa Indonesia tampaknya masih kurang. Hal ini disebabkan mahasiswa cenderung bersikap lebih percaya diri ketika menggunakan Bahasa Asing dibandingkan dengan Bahasa Indonesia. Dalam konteks pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia, tugas tersebut malah hanya dibebankan kepada para guru dan dosen Bahasa Indonesia. Paradigma seperti ini semestinya dapat diubah karena membiasakan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia secara baik dan benar akan menuai hasil maksimal dalam peningkatan prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Pemahaman bahasa Indonesia sesuai dengan kaidah berbahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar diperlukan bagi mahasiwa agar mempunyai sikap positif dalam menggunakan bahasa Indonesia. Sikap berbahasa Indonesia yang positif dapat ditunjukkan dalam bentuk kesetiaan berbahasa, kebanggaan berbahasa, dan kesadaran adanya norma bahasa.
