Cultural values are life principles that guide Javanese society in acting. This article aims to analyze how Javanese cultural values are contained in the novel Sumirat Ing Mripat. The approach used is a semiotic approach from the perspective of Rolland Barthes. The analytical method used is Rolland Barthes’ semiotic theory. This analytical method consists of denotation, connotation, and myth. The analysis is carried out by linking the results of the interpretation of signs to five cultural value relationships. The semiotic approach is used to reveal the meaning and signs of Javanese cultural values. The novel Sumirat Ing Mripat was taken as a data source in this study. The results show that the novel Sumirat Ing Mripat represents cultural values. These values are the value of rationality in the relationship between humans and themselves, the value of piety in the relationship between humans and God, the value of non-rationality in the relationship between humans and others, the value of harmony in the relationship between humans and nature, and the value of deliberation in the relationship between humans and society. This study confirms that literary works function as a representation of the system of Javanese cultural values.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Ngombakan Village, Polokarto District, Sukoharjo Regency. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) are known as a superfood plant with nutritional content far exceeding conventional food ingredients, including protein, vitamin A, calcium, potassium, iron, and vitamin C, making them highly potential as a functional food for stunting prevention. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge of mothers at the Posyandu of Ngombakan Village about stunting and the benefits of moringa leaves, while also introducing the innovation of moringa leaf pudding as a nutritious supplementary food for toddlers. The activity was carried out from August 13 to September 6, 2024 through 6 meetings at the posyandu using lecture methods, leaflet distribution, and pudding-making demonstrations. The results showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge about stunting and the nutritional content of moringa leaves, as well as positive enthusiasm from participants in accepting moringa leaf pudding as an affordable and nutritious supplementary food alternative for toddlers.

concern for pet owners. Consequently, cat owners seek equipment that can support and simplify their daily pet care activities. However, the busy schedules of many cat owners often make it difficult for them to provide consistent care, raising concerns about the neglect of their pets. To address this issue, this study developed an automatic cat feeding system for a cat enclosure using an experimental research method. The proposed system utilizes a load cell sensor, a Real-Time Clock (RTC), a servo motor, and an ATmega16 microcontroller. The load cell sensor is employed to determine the appropriate food portion based on the cat's nutritional requirements, while the RTC controls the feeding schedule by dispensing food twice a day at predetermined times. The experimental results demonstrate that the system was successfully implemented, with the load cell measurement exhibiting an error rate of 10.71% relative to the predefined set point. Furthermore, the servo motor effectively controlled the valve mechanism, achieving a maximum opening angle of 85 degrees. Overall, the developed system performed reliably and met the expected operational objectives..

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of digital marketing at Kasandi Foil Pond Printing in optimizing market reach and sales. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation involving the business owner directly. The result show that the implementation of digital marketing is still not optimal, as indicated by the Instagram account that has not been actively used and the use of WhatsApp which is still limited to simple communication and has not been structured as a marketing strategy. The strengthening efforts are carried out through three main strategies, namely optimizing the use of social media, creating attractive visual content, and improving online customer interaction. The visual content created using applications such as Canva and CorelDRAW is able to increase the attractiveness of promotions and attract potential customers. In addition, consistency in posting content and quick responses through WhatsApp also contribute to increased interaction and transaction opportunities. Therefore, strengthening digital marketing based on visual media and digital interaction has the potential to increase market reach and sales if implemented consistently.

Local wisdom, particularly traditional snacks, constitutes an essential part of national cultural identity that needs to be introduced from an early age. However, observations at SDN 1 Tanggungharjo revealed that students' understanding of traditional snacks remains low, compounded by a lack of contextual and engaging visual learning media. This study aims to design an illustrated book titled "Belajar Jajanan Tradisional" (Learning Traditional Snacks) as a local wisdom-based educational medium for grades 3–6 students at SDN 1 Tanggungharjo. The Design Thinking method was employed through five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Data were collected through direct observation, teacher interviews, and student questionnaires. The outcome is a 20-page digital illustrated book in A5 PDF format covering four traditional snacks — klepon, dadar gulung, apem, and kue lapis — with content encompassing their origins, philosophy, cultural values, ingredients, and preparation processes. The applied design elements include character personification, vector cartoon style, bright color palettes based on the snacks' natural colors, rounded sans-serif typography, and a charactercentered layout tailored to the cognitive characteristics of students aged 9–12 years. Trial results demonstrated that the illustrated book effectively enhanced students' understanding of and interest in traditional snacks, while receiving positive feedback from teachers as a contextual and meaningful supplementary medium for thematic learning.

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a major public health concern worldwide due to its significant contribution to neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as its long-term adverse health consequences. Pregnancy intention has been identified as a potential determinant of adverse birth outcomes; however, evidence regarding its association with LBW remains inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the association between pregnancy intention and low birth weight in Indonesia using data from the 2012 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the 2012 IDHS. The study included 8,922 married women aged 15–49 years who had a singleton live birth within five years preceding the survey. Pregnancy intention was categorized as intended, mistimed, and unwanted. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between pregnancy intention and LBW after controlling for potential confounding variables. The prevalence of LBW was 6.2%. After adjustment for maternal age and antenatal care (ANC) visits, no significant association was found between mistimed pregnancy and LBW (AOR = 1.055; 95% CI: 0.765–1.454). An interaction effect was identified between unwanted pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Women with unwanted pregnancies accompanied by pregnancy complications had a higher risk of delivering LBW infants compared with women whose pregnancies were intended and without complications. Nevertheless, pregnancy intention was not significantly associated with LBW overall after adjustment for confounding factors. Maternal age outside the optimal reproductive age range (<20 years or >35 years) and inadequate ANC utilization were significantly associated with an increased risk of LBW. Pregnancy intention was not independently associated with low birth weight among Indonesian women after controlling for maternal and healthcare-related factors. Maternal age and antenatal care utilization were more consistent determinants of LBW. Strengthening maternal health services, particularly adequate antenatal care and early detection of pregnancy complications, may contribute to reducing the burden of low birth weight in Indonesia.

Low courage in arguing and high communication apprehension often become major obstacles for high school students when facing academic presentations. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to strengthen students' communicative rhetoric skills and public speaking abilities at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. Based on a needs assessment, partner students need techniques for persuasive public speaking, self-evaluation tools for their communication performance, and strategies for managing mental anxiety. The program was carried out through a practice-based reflective workshop involving 25 students from the school's intra-organizational board. Quantitative evaluation results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking competence, with the average score increasing from 58.4 (pre-test) to 86.2 (post-test). This result recorded an increase in the score difference by 27.8 points, which is equivalent to a competence growth of 47.6%, with the students' classical completeness rate reaching 92%. Qualitatively, observations and interviews confirmed changes in students' speaking behavior, which became more organized, expressive, and varied, and they were able to reduce anxiety independently. A tangible output of this activity is the Pocket Guide for Practical Public Speaking Based on Reflective Practice for partner students.

This study aims to analyze the effect of career development and organizational culture on employee productivity through job satisfaction at the Office of Community and Village Empowerment (DPMD) in East Kutai Regency. The research employs a quantitative explanatory approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. Total sampling was applied, involving all 90 employees of the office as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires with Likert scale measurements. The results demonstrate that career development has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (coefficient = 0.295, T = 2.532, p = 0.011), and organizational culture has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (coefficient = 0.441, T = 4.071, p = 0.000). However, career development, organizational culture, and job satisfaction do not have a significant direct effect on employee productivity (H3 through H7 rejected). The coefficient of determination for job satisfaction is 43.1%, indicating that both independent variables explain 43.1% of job satisfaction variance. These findings suggest that although career development and organizational culture successfully improve job satisfaction, mechanisms beyond satisfaction are needed to translate that satisfaction into measurable productivity at DPMD.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation, transformational leadership style, and career development on employee performance through job satisfaction at the Dinas PUPR Kabupaten Kutai Timur. This research uses quantitative explanatory method with SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares) analysis. The population consists of 120 employees with a sample of 93 respondents determined using the Slovin formula with 5% margin of error and simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire (1-5). The results show that career development has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (original sample 0.574, p-value 0.000), and transformational leadership style has a significant positive effect on employee performance (original sample 0.540, p-value 0.000). However, work motivation and transformational leadership style do not significantly affect job satisfaction, and work motivation and career development do not directly affect employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction fails to mediate the relationship between work motivation, transformational leadership style, and career development on employee performance. The R-Square values indicate that the predictor variables explain 40.4% of job satisfaction variance and 40.1% of employee performance variance.

The professionalism of novice lecturers is essential for improving the quality of higher education, particularly in Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI). This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Short Course Program for Novice Lecturer Competency Development (PKDP) and examine the contribution of its learning materials to strengthening novice lecturers' professionalism at UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi in 2026.

These findings indicate that PKDP is an effective strategy for developing novice lecturer professionalism and improving the quality of human resources in Islamic higher education.

This study proposes a computer vision-based system for automatically verifying the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in industrial environments. The system integrates the YOLOv8 object detection model, OpenCV for image processing, and a State Machine mechanism to manage the verification workflow. The verification process begins with employee identification through ID card scanning, followed by real-time detection of the head, safety helmet, and face mask using a camera, before generating a final PASS or FAIL decision. System evaluation was conducted using 250 testing scenarios to assess both model and system performance. The results show that the YOLOv8 model achieved an mAP@50 of 93.9%, while the overall verification system obtained 98.4% accuracy, 98.4% precision, 100% recall, and a 99.2% F1-score. The implementation of the State Machine contributed to a more stable and consistent verification process by ensuring that each inspection stage was executed in the correct sequence. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system can effectively support automated PPE compliance monitoring and has the potential to enhance occupational safety management in industrial workplaces. 

Corruption committed by the leader of an independent state oversight institution represents a paradox that fundamentally undermines the legitimacy of government governance. This study examines the case of Hery Susanto, Chairman of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia, who was designated as a corruption suspect by the Attorney General's Office on April 16, 2026—merely six days after his inauguration—in connection with alleged bribery of Rp1.5 billion from PT Toshida Sulawesi Hijau Indonesia involving the management of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) in the nickel mining sector for the period 2013–2025. This study aims to analyze the manifestation of the three elements of the Fraud Triangle—pressure, opportunity, and rationalization—within this case, and to formulate systemic implications for corruption prevention in independent state institutions. Employing a normative-empirical legal research approach with a case study method, data were collected through documentation and qualitative content analysis of legal documents, official press releases from the Attorney General's Office, and verified media reports. The findings reveal that pressure stemmed from financial motivation and career ambition; opportunity arose from weak internal oversight mechanisms, the perpetrator's strategic position, and regulatory gaps in Law Number 37 of 2008; while rationalization manifested through cognitive justification that framed the receipt of compensation as a reasonable reward for services rendered. This study contributes to the literature on forensic accounting and corruption criminology, while recommending the establishment of an independent Ombudsman Supervisory Board and the strengthening of a digital-based early detection system.

 The development of information technology encourages government agencies to implement digital systems in administrative management, including the filing of financial documents. This study aims to analyze the application of digitization of financial document archives in the General and Administration Section of the South Sumatra National Road Implementation Center, find out the benefits obtained, and identify obstacles faced in its implementation. The research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained through direct observation during internship activities, documentation, internship logbooks, and literature studies. The results of the study show that the digitization of financial document archives is carried out through the stages of document completeness, scanning, digital storage, archive grouping, and document retrieval. The implementation of archive digitization provides benefits in the form of easier document searching, reducing the risk of losing archives, increasing work effectiveness and efficiency, saving storage space, improving data security, and supporting the digital transformation of government agencies. However, there are still several obstacles such as the large volume of documents, the need for high precision in the scanning process, file naming errors, device and system interference, the risk of digital data loss, limited human resources, and the simultaneous management of physical and digital archives. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of digital archive management so that the benefits obtained can be more optimal.

Kappaphycus striatum seaweed is a strategic commodity producing high-value carrageenan and is widely cultivated in Indonesia. This study aims to assess the growth rate of Kappaphycus striatum which is seeded with Sargassum sp. in floating net cages (KJA) and then cultivated using the longline method in the waters of Batuhopon, Huilelot Village, Semau Island, Kupang Regency. The study was conducted during August–October 2025 using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments, namely P0 (5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 0 kg Sargassum sp.), P1 (4.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 0.5 kg Sargassum sp.), P2 (3.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 1.5 kg Sargassum sp.), and P3 (2.5 kg Kappaphycus striatum + 2.5 kg Sargassum sp.). Observed parameters included daily growth rate, specific growth rate, absolute growth rate, ice-ice disease incidence, and water quality. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the average daily growth rate in all treatments increased until the fifth week, but some treatments decreased in the sixth week. Treatment P0 provided the highest and most stable growth. The results of the ANOVA test showed that the treatment had no significant effect on the daily growth rate (P>0.05), but had a significant effect on the specific growth rate and absolute growth (P<0.05). The highest absolute growth was obtained in treatment P0, followed by P1, P3, and P2. The incidence of ice-ice disease increased gradually from 5% in the first week to 35% in the sixth week. Water quality parameters during the study were in the range that still supported seaweed growth, namely temperature 28–30°C, salinity 30–33 ppt, pH 7.5–8.0, depth 20 cm, and current velocity 0.3–0.4 m/s.
