Cattle farming plays a strategic role in rural economic development by generating employment, supplementary household income, and contributing to food and nutritional security. However, in Indonesia, most smallholder cattle enterprises remain traditional and small-scale, leading farmers to treat livestock farming primarily as a secondary livelihood. While previous studies have largely focused on technical adoption and production performance, limited attention has been given to farmers’ psychological interest as a foundation for sustaining livestock enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of community interest in cattle farming and examine the influence of farmers’ characteristics (age, education level, herd size, number of family dependents, farming experience, and primary income) on such interest. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 34 cattle farmers in Taji Village, Jabung District, Malang Regency, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that community interest in cattle farming is generally high, as reflected in emotional (3.93), cognitive (3.81), and conative (3.74) dimensions measured on a four-point Likert scale. Regression results indicate that age has a significant positive effect (p = 0.022), whereas farming experience has a significant negative effect (p = 0.025) on interest levels. Other variables show no statistically significant influence. These findings highlight that psychological engagement in cattle farming is shaped more by demographic and experiential factors than by formal education or income level. The study contributes to the literature by positioning interest as a psychological determinant of livestock sustainability. Policy implications emphasize the urgency of risk-mitigation extension programs to address farmer burnout, incentivized intergenerational knowledge transfer, and cooperative-based institutional support to ensure smallholder livestock sustainability.

Heat stress is a major constraint in broiler production systems located in humid tropical climates, where high ambient temperature and relative humidity impair growth performance, feed efficiency, and animal welfare. This systematic review synthesizes peer-reviewed studies published between January 2015 and December 2025 evaluating environmental housing designs and cooling strategies for mitigating heat stress in broiler chickens. This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and synthesized peer-reviewed studies retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, published between January 2015 and December 2025. From 500 records initially identified, 26 studies fulfilled the predefined eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The findings demonstrate that evaporative cooling systems, tunnel ventilation, and automated climate control technologies consistently reduced indoor temperature (2–6°C) and improved body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and mortality rates under hot-humid conditions. However, cooling efficiency was strongly influenced by ambient humidity, necessitating integrated and adaptive environmental control approaches. Smart sensor-based systems further enhanced microclimate stability and thermal uniformity within broiler houses. Beyond performance improvements, optimized environmental management reduced physiological stress indicators, including heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratios and corticosterone levels. Overall, integrated, humidity-adaptive, and energy-efficient cooling strategies are essential to sustain productivity, welfare, and climate resilience in tropical broiler production systems.

Poultry agribusiness is a key driver of food security and rural economic development in developing countries. However, the sector remains vulnerable to infectious diseases such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease, which can disrupt production systems and supply chain continuity. Although previous studies have examined poultry disease control, biosecurity, and supply chain disruption, evidence on how risk and crisis communication supports outbreak management and resilience in developing-country poultry agribusiness remains fragmented. This study applied a systematic literature review (SLR) approach under PRISMA guidelines to synthesize risk and crisis communication strategies in poultry disease management and their contribution to supply chain resilience. Only seven relevant studies published between 2020 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using the PICO framework. Quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), combined with systematic data extraction in Microsoft Excel 2021, was conducted to improve methodological transparency and consistency. The novelty of this review lies in integrating communication strategies, enabling and constraining factors, digital tools, One Health perspectives, and public–private collaboration within a single analytical synthesis. The findings indicate that participatory, transparent, and coordinated communication can support disease prevention and crisis preparedness, particularly when strengthened by stakeholder trust, policy support, training, and accessible information channels. However, limited digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and cultural barriers may reduce communication effectiveness. Overall, this review highlights the need for inclusive communication systems and collaborative governance to strengthen poultry supply chain resilience in developing countries, while recognizing that the small evidence base limits broad generalization.

This study examines the emergence of localized English expressions in Indonesian social media discourse, highlighting how English is adapted and reinterpreted in multilingual digital contexts. While previous studies on English in Indonesia have primarily focused on formal domains such as education and language policy, limited attention has been given to informal online communication where linguistic innovation is highly visible. This study aims to analyze how English lexical items are re-semanticized and creatively transformed by Indonesian users on social media platforms. The study employed a qualitative approach using data collected from Instagram posts and comments, focusing on selected examples of English-derived expressions such as boba, gas, voucher, server, and suamiable. The analysis compares the conventional meanings of these terms in Inner Circle English with their localized meanings in Indonesian usage. The findings reveal that English functions as a flexible linguistic resource, undergoing processes of semantic shift, metaphorical extension, and lexical blending. These localized forms reflect users’ creativity as well as their ability to adapt global linguistic resources to local cultural contexts. The study concludes that English in Indonesian social media is not merely borrowed but actively reconstructed, contributing to the dynamic development of English in the Expanding Circle.

This study concluded that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Islamic Education in MTs Tanada was quite successful despite the need for improvements in teaching skills.

Kebijakan kesejahteraan sosial merupakan instrumen strategis pemerintah dalam meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat serta mengurangi kesenjangan sosial melalui distribusi bantuan publik. Namun demikian, dalam praktik implementasinya di tingkat lokal, kebijakan ini kerap menghadapi berbagai persoalan, terutama terkait ketepatan sasaran, transparansi, dan keadilan distribusi bantuan. Fenomena tersebut juga terlihat di Desa Ladogahar, Kecamatan Nita, Kabupaten Sikka, di mana masih ditemukan indikasi ketimpangan dalam penyaluran bantuan kepada masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi kebijakan kesejahteraan sosial dan ketimpangan distribusi bantuan publik dengan menggunakan tinjauan teori keadilan, khususnya keadilan distributif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka dan penelitian lapangan. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam dengan aparat desa dan masyarakat penerima bantuan, serta dokumentasi terkait kebijakan yang berlaku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan kesejahteraan sosial di Desa Ladogahar belum sepenuhnya berjalan secara optimal, ditandai oleh lemahnya validitas data penerima, adanya pengaruh kedekatan sosial dalam penentuan penerima manfaat, serta kurangnya transparansi dalam proses distribusi. Dalam perspektif teori keadilan, kondisi ini mencerminkan belum terpenuhinya prinsip keadilan distributif yang menekankan pemerataan dan keberpihakan kepada kelompok masyarakat yang paling membutuhkan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya perbaikan melalui peningkatan akuntabilitas, transparansi, dan partisipasi masyarakat guna mewujudkan distribusi bantuan publik yang lebih adil dan merata.

The purpose of this study is to identify the level of influence  of job description and workload on the job satisfaction of monthly contract employees at PT Multi Garmenjaya. Through  a cross-sectional  survey method, this study applies a descriptive and associative research design. The data collection was carried out through the distribution of a combination  of online (Google Form) and offline (print questionnaire) questionnaires to 87 respondents who were selected as a sample of the entire population totaling 677 monthly contract employees. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it was found that the position description variable had a positive and partially significant influence on employee job satisfaction, with a calculated t-value of 5.529 and a significance level of 0.0000. On the other hand, the workload variable was also found to show a positive and significant influence on employee job satisfaction partially, with a calculated t  value of 1.327 and a significance value of 0.188. When tested simultaneously, the two independent variables were proven to have a significant effect on the job satisfaction of contract employees, with  an F score of 27.772 and a significance value of 0.0000. As for the Adjusted R Square value,  a value of 0.384 was obtained. This figure means that the ability of the variable job description and workload in explaining the ups and downs of the job satisfaction of PT Multi Garmenjaya's monthly contract employees is 38.4%. Meanwhile, the other percentage, which is 61.6%, is influenced by other factors or variables that are not studied and studied in this research model.

This study examines the effectiveness of the GOOL (Dukcapil Go Online) service in accelerating the issuance of birth certificates at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Probolinggo City.

Mangrove forests are high-value coastal ecosystems that have the potential to be developed as sustainable ecotourism destinations. This study aims to analyze the development of Mangrove Forest Tourism in Kampung Kayu Ara Permai, Sungai Apit District, Siak Regency based on the three pillars of sustainable tourism of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), namely environmental, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature studies and semi-structured interviews with regional managers. The results of the study show that this area has a good mangrove ecosystem with nine species and an average Tourism Suitability Index (IKW) of 76.89% (Suitable/S2 category). From an economic perspective, eight non-timber forest products (NTFPs) downstream products and community-based homestay models have created an equitable distribution of benefits for residents. The socio-cultural dimension is supported by the authenticity of the coastal Malay tradition that is still preserved. However, the three dimensions face challenges in the form of the absence of protection regulations, the absence of a government fixed budget, and low public participation in management evaluation. This study recommends the issuance of regional regulations, the establishment of tourism BUMDes, and the strengthening of community participation as the foundation for sustainable ecotourism development.  

The use of hermeneutics in Qur'anic studies has long generated debate among Muslim scholars. Some view hermeneutics as a methodological tool that can bridge the historical distance between the revealed text and contemporary life, whereas others regard it as an epistemological threat that may weaken the authority of the Qur'an. This article aims to analyze the arguments of both proponents and critics and to identify possible areas of convergence. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and library research, this study examines relevant works by scholars who support and oppose the application of hermeneutics in Qur'anic interpretation. The findings show that proponents, such as Fazlur Rahman, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, and Mohammed Arkoun, argue that hermeneutics can enrich interpretive methods and help contextualize meaning. Conversely, critics, such as Adian Husaini and scholars who emphasize the authority of established tafsir traditions, argue that hermeneutics emerged from the problems of Biblical interpretation and therefore cannot be applied directly to the Qur'an, which is believed to retain its authenticity. The study concludes that the debate stems from different theological assumptions about text, revelation, and interpretation. It recommends the selective adaptation of hermeneutics as a supporting analytical tool, not as a replacement for the science of tafsir.

The stock market is a place to buy shares for profit. In Indonesia, energy stocks are highly unpredictable because global commodity prices change constantly. This study examines what affected energy stock returns in 2024, focusing on trading volume, price swings, company profits, and cash flow. Using financial reports and statistical analysis, all these factors were tested together and individually. The results show that combined, all these factors do affect stock returns. However, when looked at one by one, only the company's net profit truly matters to investors. On the other hand, busy trading, daily price swings, and cash flow have no impact at all. In fact, all the factors studied only account for 14% of stock return movements, while the remaining 86% is driven by other outside forces. In conclusion, for those looking to invest in energy stocks, the most important thing to watch is the company's ability to generate net profit, rather than just looking at how busy daily transactions are in the market.

This study aims to analyze the religious and spiritual symbols represented in the film Titip Surat untuk Tuhan through Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach, focusing on the three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using semiotic analysis based on document studies of selected scenes, dialogues, and visual elements portraying religious values, prayer, sacrifice, patience, hope, gratitude, and trust in God. The findings reveal that symbols such as the mosque, mukena, sarong, prayer mat, the Qur’an, prayer activities, the post office as a medium for sending letters to God, and the calligraphy of “Allah” and “Prophet Muhammad” on the walls function not only as literal signs but also convey profound religious and spiritual connotations. These symbols further develop into myths that reinforce religious norms and cultural beliefs accepted as natural within society. The film successfully constructs a subtle yet powerful representation of faith by portraying a Muslim family that upholds devotion, moral values, patience, compassion, and an enduring relationship with God. Overall, the film demonstrates how religious symbols effectively communicate spiritual messages while strengthening viewers’ understanding of Islamic values through visual and narrative storytelling.

  Abstract.. The development of modernization in corn farming in Kalibareng Village, Patean District, Kendal Regency has the potential to cause the loss of traditional terms used by the farming community. This study aims to describe and analyze the lexicon of corn farming in Kalibareng Village, Patean District, Kendal Regency, and to reveal the lexical and contextual meaning contained therein. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with  field research and semantic studies as the main approach. Data were obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of corn farmers in Kalibareng Village. The results show that there are 44 lexicons divided into three categories, namely cultivation processes, agricultural tools, and agricultural materials. The lexical meaning in the lexicon refers to the basic meaning according to its referent, while the contextual meaning is influenced by the situation of use in agricultural activities. The contextual meanings found include process context, time context, and function context. This study shows that the corn farming lexicon not only functions as a communication tool, but also represents local knowledge, culture, and farming experiences of the Kalibareng Village community that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Kecurangan (fraud) di sektor perbankan daerah merupakan ancaman serius yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara dan menurunkan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kasus korupsi pengadaan iklan pada Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB) menggunakan pendekatan Fraud Triangle Theory yang mencakup tiga elemen utama: tekanan (pressure), kesempatan (opportunity), dan rasionalisasi (rationalization). Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus, didukung oleh studi literatur dari berbagai sumber ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kasus Bank BJB mencerminkan interaksi ketiga elemen Fraud Triangle secara simultan. Tekanan bersumber dari kebutuhan dana non-budgeter yang besar dalam pengelolaan anggaran promosi senilai Rp409 miliar. Kesempatan muncul akibat lemahnya sistem pengendalian internal, tidak adanya verifikasi dokumen yang memadai, serta penyimpangan dalam proses pengadaan. Rasionalisasi terbentuk melalui persepsi pelaku bahwa praktik tersebut merupakan hal yang lazim dalam lingkungan birokrasi dan korporasi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan pemahaman teoritis dan praktis terkait pencegahan fraud di lembaga keuangan daerah Indonesia, khususnya melalui penguatan tata kelola perusahaan dan sistem pengawasan internal.

In today's rapidly developing era, advances in digital technology have brought significant changes to various fields, including the music industry. Music production processes that once relied heavily on analog equipment can now be carried out digitally through various software applications, one of which is Fruity Loops Studio (FL Studio). FL Studio is a digital music production software that is relatively easy for beginners to learn and is widely used in the creation of digital music. This technology enables individuals to create, record, edit, and produce music more efficiently without requiring expensive studio equipment. Therefore, proficiency in digital music production technology has become a relevant and essential skill for professional, educational, and creative industry purposes. Training in recording, mixing, and mastering techniques using FL Studio is one approach to enhancing the competencies of youth communities engaged in music activities. One of the target groups of this program is the K-Tong Lasiana Youth Community, a community actively involved in music creation, particularly ethnic music. However, their musical works are still primarily focused on live performances and have not been widely produced in digital recording formats due to limited knowledge and skills in digital music production. As a community service initiative, this training program is designed to equip community members with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in digital music production, enabling them to create high-quality musical works and distribute them through various digital platforms so that they can reach a broader audience.

Embroidery is one of Indonesia’s traditional craft arts that has developed over time and continues to attract people from various social backgrounds. Embroidery techniques are commonly applied to fashion products as well as household items. The diversity of embroidery motifs and techniques provides aesthetic value and uniqueness to each product, making embroidery an important element in the development of the fashion industry. This opportunity can encourage students of the Fashion Design Program at AKS Ibu Kartini to develop their entrepreneurial potential through creativity in manual embroidery. This study employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis as the data processing technique to determine the influence of internal factors on the entrepreneurial motivation of Fashion Design students at AKS Ibu Kartini. The research sample consisted of 65 respondents. The findings revealed that, simultaneously, the four independent variables had a significant effect on entrepreneurial motivation, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.910. This indicates that 91% of the variation in entrepreneurial motivation can be explained by technical knowledge (X1), technical skills (X2), creativity and innovation (X3), and entrepreneurial mindset (X4), while the remaining 9% is influenced by other factors outside this study. Partially, variables X1, X2, and X4 showed a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial motivation, whereas X3 demonstrated a negative and significant effect. This finding indicates that creativity without market orientation may reduce students’ motivation to engage in entrepreneurship. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of improving students’ knowledge, skills, and entrepreneurial mindset. Furthermore, proper guidance is needed to ensure that students’ creativity and innovation are aligned with market demands in order to optimally enhance entrepreneurial motivation.

The development of the internet and social media has encouraged e-commerce companies to utilize digital platforms as a marketing tool, one of which is Shopee through TikTok social media. The high frequency of digital advertising is thought to influence consumer attitudes, especially among Generation Z as active TikTok users. To determine the impact of Shopee's digital advertising frequency on consumer attitudes using promotions as a mediating variable on Generation Z TikTok social media users in Tasikmalaya, this study employed quantitative, descriptive, and verification techniques. A total of 100 respondents were sampled using purposive sampling techniques. An online questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1 to 5 was used to collect research data. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the help of SmartPLS 4. The results showed that advertising frequency significantly and positively influenced consumer attitudes and promotions. In addition, promotions can mediate the effect of advertising frequency on consumer attitudes and have a beneficial and significant impact. These results indicate that consumer opinions towards Shopee will be more positive if advertisements are displayed more frequently and supported by appropriate promotions. This study serves as an academic reference and information source for businesses seeking to optimize social media-based digital marketing strategies.
