Initial survey results show that consumers in the Makale region have specific preferences for tempeh packaging and quality, but business actors have not incorporated these preferences into their production and marketing strategies. This gap calls for an intervention to develop a strategy based on a systematic, contextual mapping of consumer preferences. Using a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study was conducted in two stages: first, quantitative data collection and analysis, followed by qualitative data collection and analysis to clarify and deepen the results. The study found that consumer preferences for Jeslyn tempeh are primarily influenced by sensory qualities (taste, texture, aroma), cleanliness, affordability, hygienic packaging, distribution ease, and promotion. The Likert scale analysis showed that most indicators had an average value above 4.20 (percentage index > 84%), indicating high to very high consumer satisfaction. Taste (mean 4.52; index 90.4%) and texture (mean 4.44; index 88.8%) were the most influential factors, followed by price and cleanliness. Consumer loyalty is built through consistent quality and emotional attachment to local products. Producers should maintain product quality, improve hygiene, introduce simple innovations, and use social media for cost-effective promotion.

Explanation text is a text that can train critical reading skills, especially for junior high school students. It contains compound sentences that summarize information from several sentences into one sentence. Writing compound sentences that are not quite right will also affect the meaning or meaning that will be conveyed in the explanation text. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of compound sentences in the explanation text which will later be used as teaching materials for junior high school students. The quality of good compound sentences will later affect students' critical reading skills. The methodology used is a qualitative approach where data collection is carried out first. This technique is carried out using the Listen and Note technique. The Listen technique is done by reading and observing the explanation text on the brainacademy website. The note technique is carried out after reading the entire text recording the existing compound sentences and then re-identifying the results that have been obtained. After analyzing the explanation text, compound sentences of equal value and compound sentences of levels were found in the explanation text. The difference between the two sentences can be seen in the sentence structure and the use of conjunctions. The quality of compound sentences is also analyzed in terms of clarity of meaning, use of appropriate conjunctions, and level of complexity. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for teaching materials and provide insight into the influence of compound sentences that affect the quality of students' critical reading.

The provision under Article 17 paragraph (1) letter f of the Notary Law (UUJN) stipulates that a Notary is prohibited from concurrently holding a position as a leader or manager in a state-owned or private business entity. However, the term "leader" as used in this provision is not clearly defined, either in the main text of the article or in its explanatory section. The absence of a clear definition creates legal ambiguity, as the provision does not refer to organizational structures regulated under the Company Law, the State-Owned Enterprises Law, or the Regional Government Law. This has led to varying interpretations in the supervision of Notaries and creates potential inconsistencies in the enforcement of the rule. To address this normative uncertainty, there is a need for regulation that explicitly outlines which positions are considered to fall under the term "leader" as intended by the UUJN. This journal article focuses on analyzing the meaning of the term "leader" in Article 17 paragraph (1) letter f of the UUJN, and on examining the legal certainty of using the term in relation to the prohibition against Notaries concurrently holding leadership positions in business entities.

The effectiveness of the Windows Shopping strategy in enhancing the speech writing abilities of eighth-grade students at four government junior high schools in Cilacap Regency, Indonesia, is examined in this study. The study is based on the demand for novel instructional methods that assist students with the challenges of arranging thoughts, choosing the right vocabulary, and creating well-written sentences while writing speeches. The study used a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, consisting of pretests and posttests administered to 128 pupils, along with qualitative data from observations, interviews, and reflections. With average scores rising from 61. 63 (pretest) to 81. 97 (posttest), the results showed a notable improvement in students' performance. The statistical significance was confirmed by a paired sample t-test (t = 11. 52, p = 9. 83 × 10⁻¹³). Qualitative data also showed that students were more engaged, creative, and confident during group learning sessions. The Windows Shopping method, in accordance with social constructivist learning principles, encouraged students to actively explore, present, and reconstruct information through group interaction. This approach, according to the study, is effective in improving students' speech writing abilities and promoting essential 21st century skills such as creativity, collaboration, and communication. It should be used more widely in other text-based language instruction as well.

This research was carried out with the aim of finding out the effect of the Case Based Learning learning model on the ability to write explanatory text. The population of this study was all students of class XI SMA Negeri 3 Medan, totaling 6 classes. Sampling in this study was carried out randomly, so 2 classes were obtained, namely class XI MIA-2 consisting of 30 students as the experimental class and class XI MIA-5 consisting of 30 students as the control class. From the data collection and processing that has been carried out, it shows that the ability to write explanatory text in class using the conventional model obtained an average value of 67.08 and a standard deviation of 9.87. Apart from that, judging from the normality test results of the Case Based Learning learning model, the results were Lcount<Ltable, namely 0.137<0.161. Then in the conventional learning model Lcount<Ltable is 0.124<0.161. Because Lcount is smaller than Ltable, the two data above are said to be normally distributed. Likewise, from the results of the data homogeneity test, namely Fcount<Ftable, namely 0.51<0.53, the data comes from a homogeneous population. After the normality test and homogeneity test, hypothesis testing is then carried out. From hypothesis testing, the results obtained are Tcount>Ttable with hypothesis test results of 5.85>1.699, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted so this proves that the Case Based Learning model is more influential in improving the ability to write explanatory text in class XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Medan .
