This study examines how women construct their social roles in managing dual responsibilities and maintaining work life balance through participation in the Women’s Cycling Community (WCC) Bandung. Using the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, which includes objectivation, externalization, and internalization, this research applies a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The key informants were members of WCC Bandung, while supporting informants included husbands, children, and a psychologist. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with validity tested through triangulation and member checking. The findings show that women do not perceive dual roles as a burden but as an integral part of their identities. Family support, effective communication, and the presence of community are crucial in developing time management strategies and maintaining balance between domestic and professional responsibilities. The study also reveals that involvement in WCC Bandung provides women with a platform to express themselves, build solidarity, and gain emotional support from peers who share similar challenges. Cycling activities are not only a hobby but also serve as a medium for stress release, physical health improvement, and social networking. The study concludes that participation in WCC Bandung helps women construct an empowered, flexible, and harmonious self-identity through social support and a positive community environment, ultimately shaping a more holistic understanding of work life balance in their everyday lives.

Illegal wildlife capture and trade is a form of crime that has a serious impact on environmental sustainability. This practice not only disrupts the balance of the ecosystem but also threatens the sustainability of biodiversity, a vital asset for the nation and the world. Lampung Province is a strategic region for wildlife trafficking due to its proximity to inter-island distribution routes. This condition makes Lampung one of the provinces with the highest number of wildlife confiscations in Indonesia, thus requiring increased attention from various parties. This study aims to analyze the factors causing illegal wildlife capture and trade, while also identifying mitigation efforts. The research method used is a combination of normative and empirical juridical. Data were obtained through literature review and interviews with relevant agencies, then analyzed qualitatively using an interactive approach and legal interpretation. The results show that economic factors, socio-cultural factors, education levels, environmental conditions, and hobby-based activities are the main triggers for the rise in wildlife crime. Economic motives often drive people to get involved due to the high selling price of wildlife, while socio-cultural factors and low legal awareness exacerbate the situation. An environment that supports fishing activities, along with demand from certain hobbies such as animal collecting, further increases the opportunity for violations. In response, the Lampung Regional Police, in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) SKW III Bengkulu-Lampung, have implemented penal measures through law enforcement, as well as non-penal measures through education, outreach, and community empowerment. This study concludes that synergy between law enforcement, active community participation, and sustainable prevention strategies is key to reducing the rate of wildlife crime. With integrated collaboration, it is hoped that biodiversity can be maintained for the sustainability of the ecosystem in the future.

This study aims to describe the extent to which hobbyists perceive photography as a means of self-expression and anxiety reduction. Photography, as a form of visual art, provides a space for individuals to creatively express their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. Through photography, individuals can convey things that are difficult to express verbally, including feelings of anxiety, stress, or confusion. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, where data is collected through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to explore the subjective experiences of participants in more depth. The subjects in this study were 21-year-old students who have had a photography hobby for 4 to 5 years. The number of subjects in this study was 3 people who were selected purposively based on their active involvement in photography activities. Data analysis techniques used included interview transcription, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions based on the data collected from each subject. The results show that the three subjects have many similarities in their views on the psychological benefits of photography, despite differences in their respective focuses and approaches. In general, they stated that photography helps them express themselves, process and interpret past experiences, and reduce anxiety, especially in social situations or when interacting with others. Photography is also considered to increase self-confidence, provide a sense of control over situations, and serve as a medium for self-reflection. Thus, photography is not just a hobby, but also serves as a positive coping mechanism for maintaining mental health and emotional balance.

An online video application specifically designed for the elderly, with a focus on ease of use and fulfillment of entertainment and hobby needs. Common problems of the elderly related to cognitive decline, loneliness, and difficulty adapting to technology are the background to the design of this application. The research method used is the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with a prototyping model. The design process includes creating a process flow diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) for database modeling, and an intuitive user interface (UI) design. The results of this study are in the form of an application prototype that includes a login feature (with a no-registration option for the elderly), a homepage with favorite video categories, an interactive search feature, a search results page, and a video player interface with simple interaction options such as like. The interface design prioritizes minimalist aesthetics and navigation that is easy for the elderly to understand. It is hoped that this application can provide alternative entertainment, reduce loneliness, and improve knowledge and decision-making for the elderly through relevant video content.

This research targets to increase college students' interest in studying physics with the help of OLABS media or virtual, the technique used is school room action research (PTK). Which entails  cycles with  meeting periods in every cycle. The difficulty of this study is elegance X college students with a complete of 15 college students. The records series method turned into accomplished using questionnaires and observations. based totally at the research that has been carried out in the pre-cycle degree, the average percentage of students' hobby in mastering physics became obtained through 60%, the "low class" in the first cycle turned into obtained by way of the average percent of students' interest in getting to know physics of seventy five%, the "medium category" within the 2nd cycle become received by using the average percent of students' interest in gaining knowledge of physics of 89% "high category". This indicates an boom in college students' interest in mastering physics from pre-cycle to cycle I by means of 15% and an boom from cycle I to cycle II by means of 14%. based totally on the analysis of pre-cycle information, cycle I and cycle II received an average increase inside the typical percent of physics getting to know interest through 29% so that it may be concluded that through OLABS media or virtual practicum can boom students' hobby in studying physics.
