Semarang Regency holds a strategic geographical position as a transit hub along the Semarang–Solo–Yogyakarta corridor, supported by diverse tourist attractions and strong economic performance. Despite recording 744,659 domestic tourist movements in March 2026 based on Mobile Positioning Data, the regency failed to enter the top ten most-visited destinations in Central Java during the 2026 Lebaran holiday, with only 139,816 visits recorded at its ten leading attractions. This yields an indicative conversion rate of approximately 18.8 percent at the Lebaran peak, meaning more than 80 percent of movements passing through the regency did not translate into recorded tourism visits. This study employs a descriptive quantitative method supported by explanatory qualitative analysis (sequential explanatory mixed methods), triangulating four secondary data sources to identify the competitive gap, analyze conversion disparities, and formulate improvement strategies toward Lebaran 2027. Findings indicate that the primary drivers of low conversion are the transit-only behavior of the majority of visitors and accessibility constraints at the Bawen–Ambarawa–Bandungan corridor. The study recommends four priority strategies: integrated single-window digital data management via Application Programming Interface; private-vehicle-based traffic and access management; four anchor-themed festival clusters across 14 sub-districts; and the formalization of Pangsar Sudirman Night Market and Kuda Lumping Festival as official tourism events. Achieving the minimum target of 203,458 visits to enter the top ten requires an increase of at least 63,642 visits (approximately 45 percent above the current recorded baseline).

Semarang Regency harbors an exceptional geological record comprising three evolutionary phases of the Kendeng Zone: deep-marine sedimentation (Early Miocene–Pleistocene), tectonic uplift, and ongoing volcanism of Mount Ungaran. This study aims to inventory and identify geodiversity, biodiversity, and cultural diversity across 19 sub-districts of Semarang Regency as a scientific foundation for the Semarang Regency Geopark Master Plan, and as the initial step toward UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) designation. An integrative literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach, complemented by field observations, was employed. The inventory identified 22 geosites, 19 biosites, and 19 culture sites with demonstrable causal interconnections. The key uniqueness of Semarang Geopark lies in its complete record of three geological phases within one integrated area—from ancient deep-sea floor sediments in Bancak Sub-district, comparable to the Luk Ulo Mélange Complex of Kebumen UGGp, to active hydrothermal manifestations of Mount Ungaran at the Gedongsongo Temple Complex. The geotourism narrative 'Traversing the Time Corridor: From the Ancient Ocean Floor to the Summit of the Magma Pathway' is proposed as a unifying theme integrating conservation, education, and sustainable economic development. This study confirms the international potential of Semarang Regency Geopark based on the UNESCO & IUGS (2023) geological heritage assessment criteria.

This study aims to analyze the language style employed by President Prabowo Subianto in his speech delivered at the 17th National Farmers and Fishermen Week in 2026 using Teun A. Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis framework. The study employed a qualitative approach with documentation techniques applied to the official speech transcript. Data were analyzed through Van Dijk's three analytical dimensions, namely text, social cognition, and social context. The findings reveal that, at the textual level, the speech is dominated by themes of support for farmers and fishermen as strategic actors in national development and food security. At the superstructure level, the speech is organized argumentatively through personal experiences, policy explanations, and reaffirmation of governmental commitments. At the microstructure level, the speech demonstrates the use of informal language, rhetorical strategies, repetition, and lexical choices that strengthen the relationship between the speaker and the audience. In terms of social cognition, the findings indicate the speaker's awareness of the media's role in shaping public opinion, as reflected in several instances of meta-communication. Meanwhile, the social context dimension reveals representations of power relations through the construction of social groups positioned either as supporters or obstacles to national interests. These findings suggest that the speech functions not only as a means of political communication but also as a medium for constructing ideology, legitimizing power, and shaping political identity. This study reinforces the view that language plays a significant role in representing social realities and power relations within society.

This study examines the Dayak Ngaju Palui oral story as an object of anecdotal text by analyzing its structure, building elements, linguistic rules, and implied meanings. The research focuses on identifying the structure of anecdotal texts in Palui stories, the elements that construct the stories, the linguistic features used, and the meanings implied within them. The study aims to describe these aspects as part of Dayak Ngaju oral literature. A qualitative descriptive method was used to explain the anecdotal texts in depth. The data consisted of six Palui stories: Palui Tulak Namuei, Bapa Palui Tulak Mambuwu, Bapa Palui Tunggu Parei, Bapa Palui Mananjaru Indu Palui, Indu Palui Buhau bara Huma, and Palui Tulak Mamisi. The findings show that all six stories contain complete anecdotal text structures, including abstraction, orientation, crisis, reaction, and coda. The humorous and satirical elements appear mainly in the crisis and reaction sections, distinguishing them from other text structures. The stories are also supported by clear building elements, such as theme, characters, setting, plot, and point of view.

This community service article discusses the Student Creativity Program (PKM) Workshop for Informatics Management students of Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya in 2026. The activity aimed to increase students’ capacity to design PKM ideas that are creative, logical, collaborative, and relevant to the problems of society and technology development. The method used a participatory workshop consisting of needs identification, material preparation, online implementation, discussion, idea clinic, and follow-up reflection.

The implication of this activity is the need for continuous service culture reinforcement through standard operating procedures, role-play-based training, and periodic evaluation of user satisfaction in higher education services.

The Free Health Check-up (CKG) is a government program designed to strengthen promotive and preventive health efforts through the early detection of risk factors, pre-disease conditions, and diseases across the community according to the life-cycle approach. As a relatively new initiative, the implementation of the CKG program in primary healthcare settings still requires further evaluation to assess implementation readiness, digital support systems, and community participation. This literature review aimed to examine the implementation of the Free Health Check-up Program in primary healthcare services. Relevant literature was retrieved from the Google Scholar database using the keyword "implementation of the free health check-up program" and was limited to open-access, full-text articles published between 2025 and 2026. The search identified eight eligible articles, which were extracted and analyzed in this review. The synthesis revealed three major themes in the implementation of the CKG program: (1) primary healthcare service readiness, (2) digitalization and reporting systems, and (3) community participation and communication strategies. Primary healthcare readiness includes the availability of human resources, infrastructure, medical equipment, consumable medical supplies, funding, service workflows, and cross-sectoral coordination. Digitalization through the SATUSEHATplatform and integrated reporting systems has the potential to improve service efficiency; however, challenges remain regarding digital literacy, internet connectivity, and the technical capacity of healthcare personnel. Community participation is influenced by knowledge, attitudes, the roles of community health volunteers, teachers, healthcare workers, and communication strategies tailored to the characteristics of the target population. The successful implementation of the CKG program requires strengthening primary healthcare systems, optimizing digital health platforms, and adopting community-based communication strategies to ensure the program is more effective, inclusive, and sustainable.

This study aims to synthesize empirical and theoretical literature on the Planning–Organizing–Actuating–Controlling (POAC) framework in public sector management, identify asymmetries among its functions, and propose a reconfiguration of POAC that is relevant to digital and collaborative governance. The study employs an integrative literature review by examining classical management literature, peer-reviewed journals, government regulations, and official governance indicators. Data were analyzed thematically based on the four POAC functions and synthesized across themes, using Indonesia during the 2021–2025 period as the empirical context. The findings reveal that planning and organizing functions have developed relatively well, while actuating and especially controlling remain persistent weaknesses. This condition is reflected in improvements in several formal governance indicators, including the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) Index, Indonesia’s ranking in the E-Government Development Index (EGDI), Unqualified Audit Opinions (WTP), and public service compliance ratings. However, during the same period, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) declined. These findings indicate a gap between administrative achievements and substantive outcomes, consistent with the concept of means–ends decoupling in neo-institutional theory. The study contributes by bridging classical management theory with contemporary governance paradigms and proposing a Data-driven, Networked, Adaptive, and Participatory (DNAP) model of POAC. Practically, the results highlight the need to strengthen controlling functions and adaptive leadership to foster more effective, transparent, and outcome-oriented public governance.

Stigma toward people with mental disorders affects not only individuals living with mental illness but also the psychological well-being of family members who serve as their primary caregivers. Families often experience social rejection, discrimination, and negative stereotypes, which increase emotional and psychological burdens while reducing the quality of care they provide. This study aimed to explore the impact of stigma on the psychological well-being of families caring for people with mental disorders in Pamekasan Regency. A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted involving 11 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify participants' lived experiences. The findings revealed one overarching theme, namely the negative impact of stigma, which consisted of three categories: effects on family members, family relationships, and patients. Stigma generated feelings of sadness, anxiety, psychological distress, sleep disturbances, social withdrawal, family conflicts, and changes in family interactions with patients. These experiences negatively influenced caregivers’ emotional well-being and their ability to provide optimal support for family members with mental disorders. The study concludes that stigma has a substantial adverse impact on the psychological well-being of family caregivers and the quality of care provided to people with mental disorders. Therefore, comprehensive interventions focusing on stigma reduction, community education, and strengthening psychosocial support systems are essential to improve family resilience and promote better mental health outcomes.

Children's Equipment Bag is a means to store and carry children's equipment while traveling. Usually our view on a children's bag is in the form of a sling bag and with animal or cartoon motifs but it is less attra active and also has a monotonous design if you have to take it when traveling with your little one. What is needed is a children's bag with a shape that can be adapted to consumer needs and its function is not only a place to store and carry children's equipment, but this bag can also be used in all activities with new innovations. Based on these problems, researchers will innovate with the design of children's bag products using synthetic leather material with a space-themed backpack model. but will also be an attraction for consumers.

This study aims to analyze the relevance of Robert Raikes' Christian educational thinking to the character formation of children in contemporary Sunday School services. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from various literature sources such as books, scientific journals, and research articles related to Christian education, character education, and the history of Sunday School development. Data analysis techniques were carried out through the stages of data reduction, grouping themes, interpretation, and drawing conclusions using descriptive qualitative methods. The results show that Robert Raikes' thoughts remain relevant in modern Christian education, especially in the formation of children's character through the teaching of God's Word, discipline, role models, and the instilling of Christian values. Sunday School plays an important role as a means of fostering faith, morality, and social responsibility in children from an early age. In addition, the challenges of the digital era require churches to develop more creative, interactive, and contextual learning methods without abandoning the basic values ​​of the Christian faith. This study confirms that the success of children's character formation depends not only on the church, but also on the role of Sunday School teachers and families who work together to build a conducive spiritual environment. Thus, Robert Raikes' thinking makes an important contribution to the development of Christian education that is relevant in the modern era.

This study examines strategic management practices in the administration of nonformal education programs within Indonesia’s 3T regions areas characterized by geographical isolation, limited infrastructure, and socioeconomic challenges. The research aims to identify effective management strategies that enhance institutional sustainability, leadership performance, and community participation in nonformal educational settings. Employing a qualitative narrative review approach, this study synthesizes findings from 45 peer-reviewed publications published between 2019 and 2025, encompassing themes of adaptive management, participatory leadership, policy integration, and digital innovation. The analysis reveals that institutions adopting flexible and context-responsive strategies supported by collaborative governance and technological integration demonstrate higher resilience and alignment with local educational needs. Furthermore, the review highlights the importance of leadership adaptability, stakeholder engagement, and community-based governance as central pillars for achieving sustainable education outcomes in resource-limited contexts. The study contributes theoretically by proposing a model of “localized strategic adaptability,” which integrates principles of strategic management with participatory education governance, and practically by offering evidence-based insights to guide policymakers and administrators in strengthening nonformal education systems.

This study aims to describe the intrinsic structure and analyze the psychological aspects of the main characters in the three short stories based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data sources are texts from three satua cutet in the Nimbang Rasa anthology: I Kucil by I Komang Tri Nanda Defhayana, Idup Lara by Ni Wayan Esa Juliantini, and Pajalan Keneh by Ni Putu Ayu Ari Astiti. Results show that the intrinsic structure of all three stories employs a linear plot, with themes of diligence, perseverance, and courage. Psychological analysis based on Freud's id, ego, and superego theory reveals that I Kucil is dominated by id impulses in the form of aggressive emotion due to injustice; Ani demonstrates a strong ego in withstanding social pressure and a firm superego in upholding moral values; while Gékyu shows a balance between ego and superego when facing abuse from a teacher. This research is expected to serve as a reference in Balinese literary studies, particularly in the field of literary psychology.

Technological developments and globalization have brought changes to the mindsets and behaviors of the younger generation, including a declining interest in history learning and low historical awareness. Islamic Cultural History (ISH) plays a crucial role in shaping historical awareness because it encompasses values ​​of faith, scholarship, tolerance, leadership, and morals relevant to modern life. This study aims to analyze the role of ISH learning in shaping the historical awareness of the younger generation, explain its importance in understanding Islamic historical values, and examine the effective implementation of ISH learning in the modern era. This study used a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were obtained from books, scientific journals, articles, and various other sources relevant to the research theme. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through a process of collection, reduction, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that ISH learning plays a significant role in building the historical awareness of the younger generation by instilling Islamic character values ​​and identity. Historical awareness helps students understand the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future, enabling them to draw lessons from historical events. Implementation of Islamic Education (SKI) learning can be carried out through a contextual approach, active learning methods, the use of digital technology, role models, and experiential learning. Thus, SKI serves not only as a means of transferring knowledge but also as a medium for character and identity formation for the younger generation in the era of globalization.

Job analysis is a key component of human resource management that plays a role in determining the tasks, responsibilities, and competencies required for a particular job. In various organizations, job analysis serves as the foundation for HR planning, recruitment, selection, employee placement, and performance evaluation. However, research on job analysis remains scattered across various studies focused on specific organizational contexts, necessitating a literature synthesis to gain a more comprehensive understanding of research developments in this field. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the development of research on job analysis and identify its role and contributions to human resource management. This study employed a literature review method by searching for scientific articles in the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish (PoP) application with the keyword “job analysis.” The initial search yielded 30 scientific articles, which were then screened based on topic relevance, open access, and publication years ranging from 2020-2026, resulting in 16 articles selected for further analysis. The findings indicate that the literature on job analysis can be grouped into three main themes: the role of job analysis in human resource management, its contribution to improving employee performance and productivity, and its implementation in employee placement and organizational governance. Overall, job analysis has proven to be a strategic tool for enhancing the effectiveness of human resource management. Further research is recommended to examine the implementation of job analysis in greater depth across various organizational contexts to enrich the development of human resource management theory and practice.
