Perkembangan teknologi informasi di era globalisasi telah mendorong berbagai inovasi dalam pelestarian budaya, termasuk dalam bentuk media digital untuk pembelajaran bahasa daerah. Salah satu bahasa daerah yang mengalami penurunan penutur adalah Bahasa Keo, yang digunakan di wilayah selatan Kabupaten Nagekeo, khususnya di Desa Lokalaba. Penggunaan bahasa ini di kalangan generasi muda semakin berkurang karena kurangnya media pembelajaran yang mendukung. Di sisi lain, wisatawan yang datang ke wilayah ini menunjukkan ketertarikan terhadap budaya dan bahasa lokal, namun keterbatasan akses terhadap materi pembelajaran menjadi kendala utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan membangun aplikasi kamus bahasa Keo berbasis Android dengan menggunakan platform MIT App Inventor. Aplikasi ini dirancang sebagai alat bantu belajar yang sederhana dan interaktif, berisi kosakata dasar dalam dua bahasa, yaitu Bahasa Indonesia dan Bahasa Keo. Fitur utama meliputi pencarian kata, pilihan arah terjemahan dua arah (Indonesia–Keo dan Keo–Indonesia), serta halaman informasi mengenai bahasa Keo dan aplikasi itu sendiri. Seluruh data kosakata dimasukkan secara statis tanpa menggunakan server atau basis data online. Dengan hadirnya aplikasi ini, diharapkan masyarakat lokal, khususnya generasi muda, dapat belajar Bahasa Keo secara mandiri dan menyenangkan. Selain itu, aplikasi ini dapat membantu wisatawan dalam berkomunikasi dan memahami budaya lokal. Penelitian ini merupakan bentuk kontribusi nyata dalam pelestarian bahasa daerah melalui pemanfaatan teknologi digital yang  tepat.

Arabic language proficiency, a key element in Islamic religious education, requires adequate learning resources. One innovation that contributes to the learning process is the use of a digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionary. This study aims to identify the extent to which students utilize digital dictionaries and their impact on Arabic language learning. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach through data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Participants included students enrolled in the Arabic Language Education study program from the 2010 intake, lecturers teaching Arabic, and data on the use of digital dictionary applications. The study findings indicate that most students prefer using digital dictionaries due to their ease of access and comprehensive features, such as instant word search and examples of word usage in context. Students perceive digital dictionaries as more practical and efficient, especially for quickly searching for word meanings, which is very helpful in the intensive Arabic language learning process. However, several obstacles also arise, including low digital literacy among some students and limited internet access in some locations. On the other hand, lecturers at the Al-Zaytun Islamic Institute in Indonesia continue to encourage the use of printed dictionaries to train students' accuracy in searching for meanings, especially so that they do not rely solely on technology. Overall, the use of digital dictionaries has been proven to positively contribute to improving Arabic comprehension and sentence structure, making them an effective and relevant alternative learning resource in the digital age. The use of digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionaries also makes it easier for students to learn technical terms frequently used in academic and religious texts.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of dictionaries as repackaged information products at the Library of Universitas Perintis Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach using observation and interviews with librarians. The findings reveal that although both physical and digital dictionaries are available and in good condition, their utilization remains low. Dictionaries are only used when required for practical courses and are rarely accessed otherwise. Factors contributing to the low usage include limited promotion, insufficient information literacy, and the lack of integration between the dictionary collection and the academic curriculum. This situation results in the suboptimal contribution of dictionaries to students’ learning processes and information literacy. The study recommends strategies to increase dictionary utilization through active promotion, curriculum integration, information literacy training, and continuous evaluation. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for the development of academic library services, particularly in optimizing repackaged information products to support the learning needs of health science students.

Password security is a crucial aspect of digital authentication systems; however, many users still rely on weak and easily guessable passwords, increasing their vulnerability to cyber threats such as brute force and dictionary attacks. This study aims to evaluate password strength based on length and character complexity using a combinatorial theory approach. Through simulations, this research calculates the number of possible character combinations for various password lengths and character types, including lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Additionally, the study estimates the time required to crack different types of passwords using brute force techniques and compares the results with real-world password breach data. The simulation results reveal that passwords composed solely of lowercase letters and fewer than eight characters in length can be cracked within seconds. In contrast, passwords that include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols with a minimum length of 12 characters would require more than one million years to be deciphered through brute force methods. These findings emphasize that increasing both the length and complexity of passwords significantly enhances security strength. Therefore, users are strongly encouraged to create passwords that are at least 12 characters long and include a diverse mix of character types. Furthermore, implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and using password managers are highly recommended strategies to improve account protection. By adopting these practices, the risk of data breaches due to compromised passwords can be substantially reduced, contributing to stronger and more resilient digital security environments.

Indonesian, as the official and academic language in Indonesia, has linguistic standards outlined in the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). However, in practice, the use of vocabulary that aligns with KBBI is still not a common habit among university students. This study aims to review students' awareness of using vocabulary that conforms to KBBI and the factors influencing it. The method used in this research is a literature review, analyzing various sources, including academic journals, books, and relevant articles. The findings indicate that students' awareness of using standard language remains low due to social environment influences, social media exposure, and a lack of emphasis on formal language use in academic learning. Additionally, the habit of using informal language in daily communication, particularly on digital platforms, is one of the primary reasons for the decline in formal language quality among students.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using an Arabic dictionary in enhancing the vocabulary of students at SMK Tarbiyatus Salafiyah Pesawahan Tiris Probolinggo. The main focus of this research is to identify the factors influencing the use of dictionaries in vocabulary acquisition and the impacts resulting from their use. The research problem formulation includes identifying the supporting and inhibiting factors in dictionary utilization and analyzing the effects of dictionary use on students’ vocabulary mastery. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through direct classroom observation to examine students’ interactions with dictionaries, in-depth interviews with students and educators to explore their experiences and perceptions, and documentation in the form of field notes and student work to analyze vocabulary development. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of dictionary use is influenced by both inhibiting and supporting factors. Inhibiting factors include the limited availability of dictionaries, a lack of understanding regarding their proper use, and restricted access to digital technology. Meanwhile, supporting factors involve teachers’ patience in providing guidance, students’ high enthusiasm and motivation, and their Arabic language proficiency. The positive impact of effective dictionary use is not limited to an increase in vocabulary acquisition but also contributes to students’ confidence in communicating in Arabic, enhances memory and cognitive skills, and improves reading and writing abilities. Thus, this study concludes that using Arabic dictionaries is effective in enriching students’ vocabulary, especially when supported by conducive factors.

The rapid development of digital technology has a significant impact on people's lives, including children's lives. Due to the use of this technology, protecting children's personal data has become an important issue in the current digital era, where children are vulnerable to the misuse of their personal data. The aim of this research is to examine the role of supervisory institutions in providing protection for children's personal data in Indonesia and to analyze it in comparison with the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) in South Korea. This research employs a normative legal approach. The legal materials used in this study focus on primary legal sources in the form of legislation, secondary legal sources such as literature, books, and journals, tertiary legal sources including Black’s Law Dictionary and the Indonesian Language Dictionary, as well as legal comparisons between Indonesia and South Korea. The results of this study indicate that the law in Indonesia has not fully provided adequate protection for personal data, particularly regarding the establishment and role of supervisory institutions, which have not yet been formed as a means of safeguarding children's personal data. In contrast, the regulations in South Korea provide more detailed provisions regarding the protection of children's personal data, along with an effectively functioning supervisory body known as the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC).

The alpha generation is the children that the millenial generation has left behind. This article was written by Mark Mc Crindle and published in the Business Insider magazine (Christina Sterbenz, 2015). The Alpha Generation (2011–2025) is the most advanced generation in terms of digital technology and the least advanced generation in comparison to the previous generation. Every day, almost 2.5 million children of the Alpha Generation are born into the world. The generation most familiar with the internet over the long term is Gen A. Mc Crindler also asserts that the Alpha generation is not averse to technology, somewhat socially adept, somewhat creative, and somewhat independent. Alpha generators require quick and somewhat chaotic processes. By enticing them with a technology, they become socially alienated. This article aims to understand the challenges faced by the Alpha Generation in the Industrial Revolution. For many people, literacy is a familiar language. Literasi is a concept with a complex, dynamic, and ever-changing definition that is defined by several methods with extreme caution. According Keywords: Literacy, Technology, Development, and Generation Alpha. to an online Merriam-Webster dictionary, the words "literature" and "letter" come from the Latin and English languages, respectively. Literasi is quality, or the ability to read and write with huruf/aksara that is included in the text. Technology is described as a concept that has to do with the type of application and knowledge about how it might improve human ability to identify and modify objects that are around. At this point in time, technological advancement is experiencing relatively slow advancement. The idea of technological advancement is to advance technology from one era to the next, making it more advanced or better. The ability of the Alpha generation to communicate (read, write, study, and sketch) has somewhat declined as a result of the rapid advancement of technology. Many Alpha children nowadays are highly dependent on their gadgets (games, YouTube videos, and other apps). However, due to technological developments, alpha generation children are lagging behind in literature, which is why they are interested in reading at an age when they should be able to read and understand the content of what they read.
