Language is a means of communication between individuals and groups to convey ideas, concepts, or insights. Language can be expressed orally or in writing. Spoken language is temporary or contemporary, while written language is permanent. Spoken language is delivered without an intermediary media, whereas writing serves as an academic archive to ensure that the conveyed insights are preserved. Therefore, writing is done, for example, in encyclopedias, which contain collections of information about science, knowledge, history, arts, technology, and others in a broad and easily understandable manner. Writing books is very important in delivering accurate and easily understood information, so the use of language must adhere to linguistic rules. However, errors are often found that can disrupt clarity and accuracy of information. This research aims to identify types of sentence errors in the encyclopedia book titled “Islamic Kingdoms in Indonesia.” The study examines the use of language in accordance with linguistic rules using a qualitative method and a descriptive approach, analyzing data from various chapters in the book in depth. The results show errors in sentence structure, punctuation, and incorrect terminology, which can reduce the quality of the information. The benefit of this research is to provide recommendations for writers and publishers to improve the encyclopedia so that it becomes more informative and easier to understand, as well as to enhance the quality of scholarly works in the field of historiography.

This study is motivated by the position of traditional music as a cultural element that not only functions aesthetically but also plays an important role in constructing social meaning, symbolism, and collective identity within a community. This article aims to examine the social meaning and function of Tagonggong music in the Tulude tradition of the Sangihe community in Londoun Village as a diaspora community. The research uses a qualitative method with a cultural ethnographic approach through participatory observation, unstructured interviews with traditional elders, Tagonggong players, and community leaders, as well as documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and interpretatively using Alan P. Merriam's theoretical framework on the function of music. The results of the study show that Tagonggong music has a multidimensional function in the Tulude tradition, including symbolic communication, emotional expression, representation of cultural identity, reinforcement of social norms, and social integration and cohesion within the community.Tagonggong not only functions as an accompaniment to ceremonies, but also as a sacred musical instrument that connects the relationship between humans, ancestors, and God, while also marking the space and time of the ceremony. This finding confirms that Tagonggong is a living cultural archive that preserves the collective memory and ethnic identity of the Sangihe community in exile. Implicitly, this research enriches Indonesian ethnomusicology studies by positioning traditional music as an active social text in maintaining the cultural structure and solidarity of the communities that support it.

The management of village development program archives plays a vital role in supporting effective, transparent, and accountable village governance. However, in many villages, including Kalembu KanaiKa Village in Wewewa Barat District, archive management is still conducted conventionally without the support of a structured information system. This condition creates several challenges, such as difficulties in accessing data, low administrative efficiency, and weak documentation and accountability of village development activities. Therefore, this study aims to examine the development of an information system for managing village development program archives based on local conditions and needs. The research seeks to identify the actual condition of archive management, analyze constraints faced by village officials, and formulate directions for developing an appropriate archive management information system in Kalembu KanaiKa Village. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving village officials responsible for archive management and development program implementation. The results reveal that archive management has not been optimal due to limited human resources, inadequate facilities, and minimal use of information technology. Despite these limitations, village officials show readiness and willingness to adopt a simple and user-friendly archive management information system tailored to the village’s social and institutional capacity. These findings indicate that the development of archive information systems requires not only technical solutions but also attention to social, institutional, and capacity-building aspects.

This study aims to analyze the use of interior photography as a means to preserve and visually document the FMM Convent Chapel Regina Pacis in Bogor. The chapel is a historic site with significant artistic, spiritual, and architectural value, and has been officially recognized by the central government as a cultural heritage building. The importance of this research arises from the fact that the chapel is not included in the official publication of cultural heritage buildings in Bogor City that has been identified. Its absence from this publication indicates a lack of visual documentation and historical information necessary to support conservation efforts. Insufficient documentation increases the likelihood of losing architectural value should changes or damage occur in the future. To address this issue, the study seeks to produce interior photographic documentation that accurately and clearly represents the architectural identity of the chapel. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, consisting of interviews with the chapel’s management, direct on-site observations, and the development of an interior photography concept that considers spatial structure, perspective, and lighting. In this context, interior photography functions not only as an aesthetic medium but also as a preservation tool capable of storing long-term information.The resulting visual documentation is expected to serve as a valuable reference for managers, researchers, and local government authorities, while also encouraging the inclusion of the Regina Pacis Chapel in the official publication of cultural heritage buildings in Bogor City. In this way, the study contributes to strengthening cultural archives and supporting the preservation of historical architecture.

Archives management plays a crucial role in ensuring the accountability of an organization, as proper management of archives can enhance transparency and operational effectiveness. Based on observations made at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office, several issues were identified within the current archiving system. One of the key problems is the lack of knowledge about proper archives management, which causes significant barriers during the archiving process. The office employs two archivists with high school and diploma (D3) education backgrounds. Although they have attended archives management training, the current system remains ineffective, which in turn affects work efficiency, particularly in the process of searching for archives. In many instances, the required archives are either difficult to locate or entirely missing. This study aims to assess the impact of archives management on work efficiency at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office. The research employs quantitative analysis with a sample size of 42 employees. Data were collected through a survey method, using a questionnaire to capture relevant information from the participants. Simple linear regression analysis conducted using SPSS 24 revealed that archives management accounts for 35% of the variance in work efficiency, while the remaining 65% is influenced by other factors. The findings suggest that effective archives management has a positive and significant impact on employee work efficiency. Based on the results, several practical implications are suggested: (1) the current archiving system should be maintained and improved for better performance, (2) training and development programs should be implemented to enhance the skills of archivists, (3) archivists should be equipped with specialized skills in archives management to improve overall efficiency, and (4) ongoing coaching and mentorship for archivists should be provided to ensure continuous improvement.

The documentary film "Museum Perkebunan Indonesia" by Fabio Fahrezi Canavaro uses the expository technique to present the history of plantations in Indonesia in a factual and educational manner. This technique emphasizes the clear delivery of information through authoritative narration, visual archives, and expert interviews, providing the audience with a deeper understanding. The documentary is structured in a chronological narrative, starting with the early history of plantations during the colonial era, the post-independence developments, and the relevance of plantations in the modern era. Observations of the film reveal the use of visual archives, such as old plantation photos, historical documents, and colonial maps, as well as interviews with historians and plantation practitioners, enriching the narrative. The combination of clear verbal narration and visual evidence strengthens the presented information, making it easier to comprehend. The expository technique successfully changes the perception of plantation history, which was previously considered monotonous, into something more engaging and relevant. This documentary not only serves as a medium for historical education but also provides a fresh perspective on the role of plantations as a key pillar of Indonesia’s economy. Through this approach, the film serves as an effective example of expository technique in historical documentary filmmaking in Indonesia, encouraging the audience to explore often-overlooked history.

This study aims to optimize the implementation of the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm for medical image classification by focusing on selecting the optimal KKK parameter and applying dimensionality reduction techniques to improve accuracy and efficiency.
