Female puppeteers often face various obstacles in their personal and professional development due to the limitations imposed by social constructs, which dictate that female puppeteers must resemble their male counterparts in terms of style, technique, and character. In this context, gender becomes a barrier that hinders women from fully expressing their identity and creativity freely within the world of wayang (traditional Javanese puppetry). As a result, few women dare to develop their personal perspectives and thoughts into artistic works. In fact, women possess great opportunities and significant potential to create and cultivate wayang literature in innovative and meaningful ways. Amidst these challenges and prevailing stereotypes, Nyi Lucia Siti Aminah Subanto remains consistently active in her creative pursuits, particularly in the development of wayang wahyu (a type of Christian-themed wayang). Her distinctive style and artistic approach greatly contribute to her presence in the world of puppetry and radio media. This study examines gender roles, the characteristics of her pakeliran (performance), and her contributions to the Wayang Wahyu community “Ngajab Rahayu,” using theories by Kamla Bhasin, Sunuh, Robbins, and Gibson.

E-learning has become a vital pillar in higher education, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden shift towards digital learning methods. This article examines the effectiveness of e-learning platforms through a comparative literature review (2020–2025), focusing on Moodle, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and CIDOS 4.0 as the local platform. The study evaluates aspects of student engagement, accessibility, assessment, and technological innovation. Findings reveal that although e-learning enhances flexibility, challenges remain in terms of the digital divide, system usability, and reliability of assessment. This review highlights that Moodle provides strong interactive and assessment features, while Google Classroom offers simplicity and accessibility but lacks advanced analytics. Microsoft Teams supports collaboration and integration with Office 365, yet requires stable internet. Zoom is highly effective for synchronous interaction but less suitable for task management. CIDOS 4.0 addresses Malaysia’s TVET context but continues to face issues with server stability and user interface design. Beyond platform-specific strengths and weaknesses, the analysis emphasizes that student engagement, fair access, and reliable evaluation methods are central to e-learning effectiveness. Hybrid approaches that combine face-to-face and online learning are identified as the most effective strategy within the Malaysian higher education context. The study concludes that institutions must not only choose appropriate platforms but also enhance digital literacy, invest in infrastructure, and explore innovations such as AI and gamification. These measures can maximize e-learning’s potential to improve teaching, learning quality, and the broader digital transformation of higher education.

In Islam, dhikr refers to the practice of remembering Allah. The teachings contained in the Qur'an and hadith provide many benefits, including calming the soul, curing disease, and contemplating death. It is important to note that dhikr is considered sunnah, and therefore, should not conflict with obligatory practices in the religion. At the Raudhatul Ulum Cidahu Pandeglang Islamic Boarding School, it is often routine to recite the dhikr of Asma Badar/Ashlul Qadar, this is a means of remembering Allah and remembering the struggle of Ali Badar who died in the Badr war. Asma Badar itself is written by Abuya K.H Muhammad Dimyati Cidahu Pandeglang. In this article the author is very interested in reviewing more deeply the influence of reciting Asma Badar's dhikr at the Raudhatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School. This research uses the living hadith method, namely how people bring the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW to life. Apart from that, the source of the data that the author obtained was from library sources, both knowledge books, journals, articles and other scientific works.  Asma Badar is believed to be able to ward off bad fate, ward off disaster, cure disease and those who carry their names (in written form) will always receive help and gain glory.

This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of a combination of microbial compounds from apple cider vinegar (ACV) and keji beling leaf extract against skin and wound pathogenic bacteria, namely Staphylococcus epidermidis (Gram-positive) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative). ACV is produced through apple fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Acetobacter aceti, rich in acetic acid, probiotics, and proteolytic enzymes. Keji beling leaf extract is obtained through ethanol maceration and contains flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and phytosterols—all of which have been shown to be antibacterial and antioxidant. The well diffusion method was used, with four treatments: negative control (DMSO), positive control (chloramphenicol 30µg), keji beling extract, and a combination of ACV + extract in various ratios. The results showed the largest inhibition zone in the 1:1 combination of ACV:extract, respectively 21.2±0.5mm (S. epidermidis) and 18.5±0.6mm (P. aeruginosa), much larger than the extract alone. This finding indicates significant synergism (p<0.05) between ACV and keji beling extract in stopping bacterial growth.

According to data from the World Health Organization, around 90% of women experience severe dysmenorrhea, and 10-15% experience mild dysmenorrhea. Research in various countries has also shown that more than 50% of women suffer from primary dysmenorrhea. This study aims to analyze the impact of health education on how adolescent girls cope with menstrual pain at MA Alhudaebiyah, Sukabumi, in 2024. The research method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with a sample of 50 female students from grades X, XI, and XII. The results show that 88% of the respondents experience primary dysmenorrhea, and most of them employ strategies that are not very effective. The Chi-Square statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between knowledge level and efforts to reduce pain. The Odds Ratio (OR) value of 215 indicates that good knowledge greatly increases the likelihood of taking more effective actions.

This study enhances Jiang et al.'s compression-based classification algorithm by addressing its limitations in detecting semantic similarities between text documents. The proposed improvements focus on unigram extraction and optimized concatenation, eliminating reliance on entire document compression. By compressing extracted unigrams, the algorithm mitigates sliding window limitations inherent to gzip, improving compression efficiency and similarity detection. The optimized concatenation strategy replaces direct concatenation with the union of unigrams, reducing redundancy and enhancing the accuracy of Normalized Compression Distance (NCD) calculations. Experimental results across datasets of varying sizes and complexities demonstrate an average accuracy improvement of 5.73%, with gains of up to 11% on datasets containing longer documents. Notably, these improvements are more pronounced in datasets with high-label diversity and complex text structures. The methodology achieves these results while maintaining computational efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained environments. This study provides a robust, scalable solution for text classification, emphasizing lightweight preprocessing techniques to achieve efficient compression, which in turn enables more accurate classification.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a crucial natural language processing task that extracts and classifies named entities from unstructured text into predefined categories. While existing NER methods have shown success in general domains, they often face significant challenges when applied to specialized contexts like Filipino cultural and historical texts. These challenges stem from the unique linguistic features, and diverse naming conventions. This research introduces an enhanced rule-based NER approach that specifically addresses these challenges. At its core, the system utilizes curated Corpus of Historical Filipino and Philippine English (COHFIE), which serves as both training and evaluation data. This research presents an enhanced rule-based approach for NER using a Corpus of Historical Filipino and Philippine English (COHFIE) building on pattern-learning methods, incorporating character and token features, and by using positive and negative example sets. To enrich the classification process, we used the International Committee for Documentation – Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM), a cultural heritage framework, to provide a more nuanced categorization of entities based on their historical and cultural significance. Tested across existing Filipino based models (calamanCy and RoBERTa Tagalog), the enhanced model shows improvement on identifying entities related to Filipino culture (CUL) and history terms (PER, ORG, LOC).
