This study examines the effectiveness of integrating the demonstration method with audio-visual interactive multimedia to enhance Grade III elementary students' proficiency in sunnah rawatib prayers. A quasi-experimental design was employed with an experimental group (n=21) receiving demonstration-assisted multimedia instruction and a control group (n=22) undergoing conventional teaching. The primary instrument was a validated worship practice observation checklist (CVR=1; Cronbach's Alpha=0.873). Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, N-Gain calculation, and the Mann-Whitney U test. The experimental group achieved a posttest mean of 85.95 (100% mastery rate) compared to the control group's 74.32 (77.27% mastery). The experimental group's N-Gain score of 0.7146 (high category) substantially exceeded the control group's 0.4423 (moderate category). The Mann-Whitney U test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of < .001, confirming a statistically significant difference between both groups. These findings affirm that demonstration enriched by interactive multimedia scaffolding effectively constructs students' procedural knowledge of worship rituals and optimally engages multiple sensory modalities at the primary level.

Every nation, including Indonesia, has a problem with population growth. A high birth rate is the consequence of an expanding population, which causes childhood malnutrition. Family planning is an attempt to regulate the quantity and spacing of children. The AKDR is the recommended method of contraception. Indonesia's AKDR coverage is still inadequate. Because the husband is the head of the household, his support is crucial since he has the power to decide whether or not to use contraception. At the Ibu Community Health Center, this research aims to explore the connection between husband support and a lack of interest in using IUD contraception among couples of reproductive age. With 25 individuals in the study group, a cross-sectional research design with total sampling methodologies was employed. A survey was used as the research method, and the data was subjected to Chi-Square analysis with SPSS. The chi-square statistical test produced a P-value (asymp. Sig 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that there is a correlation between husband support and a low desire among couples of reproductive age to utilize IUD contraception. Consequently, since H0 was disproved and H1 was proven, it can be inferred that there is a link between husband support and couples of childbearing age having a low interest in using IUD contraception.

This study aims to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of the work environment and work-life balance on employee work stress at Hotel X. The research design is causal quantitative, with multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 26.0 for Windows. The sample was obtained through purposive sampling (non-probability) of 120 respondents. The research subjects were employees working in shifts. The analysis results show that, (1) both variables simultaneously have a negative and significant effect on work stress, (2) the work environment has a negative and significant effect (sig. 0.002), and (3) work-life balance has a negative and significant effect (sig. 0.000). The work-life balance variable dominates its influence compared to the work environment, as seen from the lower significance value. These findings confirm that improving work-life balance and the work environment effectively reduces stress, especially for shift workers who are vulnerable to time imbalance. Based on the results, organizations are advised to optimize human resource management by maintaining a balance between job demands and employee conditions, as well as ensuring a proportional workload. Improvement in work-life balance can be achieved through flexible leave policies, adequate breaks between shifts, no overtime days except in emergencies, and minimizing personal time interruptions. These steps are expected to enhance employee well-being, retention, and productivity in the hospitality sector. Further research is recommended to explore different variables and methods, including comparing non-shift employees with the same variables, for more comprehensive insights.

The importance of education as a foundation for developing an intelligent and qualified generation, with an emphasis on Islamic religious education as a tool for shaping students' character and morals. Islamic religious education, particularly in the study of faith and morals, emphasizes ethical values ​​such as caring and honesty. With the challenges in education becoming increasingly complex, one example is that many educators are unable to utilize learning media in today's advanced technology. One proposed solution is the use of the digital platform Kahoot, which has been proven to attract student interest in learning faith and morals, overcoming the boredom often encountered with traditional methods, such as lectures. It is emphasized that schools need adequate facilities and strategies for using gadgets to enhance students' learning experiences.The quantitative method used in this study is a pre-experimental study. In this study, the researcher used the one-group pretest and posttest design model. Based on the research results, there was a pretest score with a mean of 93.46, a median of 95, and a mode of 95. The posttest score had a mean of 84.62, a median of 90, and a mode of 100. The sig. (2-tailed) table showed 0.002 with a research alpha of 5% or 0.005. It can be concluded that there is no effect because 0.002 < 0.005. Therefore, H1 is rejected. Therefore, there is no effect of using the Kahoot application on the subject of faith and morals on improving student learning outcomes at MAS Tarbiyah Islamiyah.

This study aims to examine the extent to which taxpayers’ attitudes toward e-filing influence tax compliance, with the implementation of e-filing positioned as a mediating variable among employees of PT Selalu Cinta Indonesia (SCI) registered at the Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama) of Salatiga City. The population comprised 18,244 employees, from which a sample of 100 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were processed and analyzed using simple linear regression and path analysis. The results indicate that attitudes toward e-filing have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance (t = 7.708; sig. < 0.001) and also significantly influence the level of e-filing implementation (t = 7.644; sig. < 0.001). Furthermore, the implementation of e-filing has a significant impact on taxpayer compliance (t = 150.765; sig. < 0.001). Additional findings reveal that e-filing implementation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between attitudes toward e-filing and taxpayer compliance, with a total effect value of 1.225. Overall, these findings reinforce the Theory of Planned Behavior framework, which posits that positive attitudes toward a system can foster the formation of specific behaviors, particularly in the context of tax compliance.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) constitute the backbone of Indonesia's national economy, contributing approximately 61% of GDP and absorbing 97% of the total workforce; however, the majority of MSME actors, particularly in eastern Indonesia, continue to face structural barriers in digital technology adoption and capital access that constrain optimal business performance. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of marketing digitalization and business capital on MSME performance in Ambon City. A quantitative approach with associative-causal design was employed, involving 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling from active MSME operators in Ambon City. Data were collected via a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS version 26, preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. Results demonstrate that marketing digitalization exerts a positive and significant partial effect on MSME performance (t = 8.060; sig. = 0.000; β = 1.061), establishing it as the most dominant predictor in the model. Conversely, business capital shows no significant partial effect (t = 0.746; sig. = 0.462), attributable to the homogeneity of capital access among MSME actors in archipelagic regions. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence MSME performance (F = 287.070; sig. = 0.000), with an exceptionally high R Square of 0.955, indicating that 95.5% of performance variance is collectively explained by the two predictors. These findings underscore the critical role of digital marketing capabilities over financial resources alone in archipelagic contexts. It is recommended that the Ambon City Government integrate digital marketing literacy training programs synergistically with inclusive financing schemes to comprehensively strengthen MSME competitiveness across the Maluku archipelago.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using light sticks and without lights on catching ribbonfish from the number of catches. The method used in this study is an experimental fishing method with data analysis using the T test. This study was conducted in the waters of Pasongsongan Sumenep. The results of the ribbonfish catch during 16 trips with light sticks totaled 163 fish, while those without lights totaled 67 fish. The type of ribbonfish caught was dominated by the Trichiurus lepturus species. From the catch results, a T test analysis was carried out and the results of the Paired samples test showed a sig. value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is a significant difference in the number of catches in the use of light sticks and without lights placed on the fishing hook position. This is because ribbonfish have phototactic properties towards light, in addition to searching for food more dominantly using the sense of sight.

The transportation of tiger shrimp postlarvae (Penaeus monodon) in aquaculture practice is a critical stage as it may induce physiological stress that directly reduces survival rate. Salinity, as a water quality parameter closely associated with osmoregulatory processes, is a key determinant of success in closed wet system transportation. The present study was designed to examine how varying salinity concentrations influence the survival percentage of PL 10 tiger shrimp postlarvae subjected to closed wet transport conditions, as well as to identify the most suitable salinity range for such transport. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with five salinity levels as treatments — 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 ppt — each replicated five times. Each experimental unit contained 1,500 postlarvae in 1 L of oxygenated water packed in plastic bags and transported for approximately 3 hours. The main parameter observed was survival rate (SR), while supporting parameters included temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH. Statistical evaluation included the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, Levene’s test for variance homogeneity, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results showed that salinity differences had a highly significant effect on postlarvae survival rate (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). The 25 ppt salinity treatment produced the highest survival rate of 99.64%, while 10 ppt resulted in the lowest at 63.78%. The measured water quality variables — temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH — did not exert a statistically significant effect on postlarvae survival throughout the transport period.
