The development of digital technology has driven significant changes in modern learning methods by integrating various multimedia media. However, multimedia's ability to facilitate learning depends largely on the extent to which its presentation aligns with the principles of learning psychology, particularly those outlined in the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). This study aims to examine the role and effectiveness of multimedia in transforming modern learning methods by combining the results of recent empirical research from 2020 to 2024. This study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing 22 journal articles obtained from several databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Sinta. Research shows that the use of interactive multimedia helps increase student enthusiasm for learning, participation, understanding of concepts, and the ability to remember course material. However, disorganized multimedia design can add unnecessary mental burden, thereby reducing learning effectiveness. These findings suggest that the successful use of multimedia depends not only on the level of technological advancement but also on the quality of learning design that applies cognitive theory. This study provides a comprehensive summary of the latest research and provides tangible benefits for educators in creating effective digital learning content.

Fixed asset management is a crucial component in supporting the performance of local governments. However, the Polewali Mandar Regency Government still faces obstacles in managing assets conventionally, such as the risk of recording errors, duplicate data, and difficulties in field data verification which is time-consuming. This study aims to design and build a Web-Based Fixed Asset Management Information System integrated with Quick Response Code (QR Code) technology as a digital solution for real-time asset data collection, tracking, and monitoring. The approach taken for system development is known as the Waterfall approach, encompassing the phases of analyzing requirements, system design, execution, evaluation, and ongoing support. The creation of the system was carried out utilizing the PHP coding language, the MySQL database system, and Tailwind CSS to achieve a mobile-friendly interface. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and literature studies at the General Affairs Division of the Regional Secretariat of Polewali Mandar Regency. The result of this research is a fixed asset management information system featuring the generation of unique QR Code labels for each asset, category and location management, and reporting features divided into three access levels: Admin, Operator, and Verificator. Based on the system testing results, an average score of above 4.00 was obtained for indicators of ease of use (user-friendly), access speed, and information accuracy. In conclusion, the implementation of this QR Code-based system is proven to increase the efficiency of the asset identification process in the field, minimize manual input errors, and improve accountability in regional asset management in Polewali Mandar Regency.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of bureaucratic reform in improve the administrative performance of the Sorong City Regional Secretariat. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 30 government apparatus respondents using the Likert scale and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants and analyzed using thematic analysis and data triangulation. The results of the study show that the implementation of bureaucratic reform is positively related to the organization's administrative performance. The variables of policy communication, apparatus resources, and bureaucratic structure show a fairly strong correlation with administrative performance, with bureaucratic structure exhibiting the strongest relationship. Qualitative findings also show that bureaucratic reform has been carried out through simplifying procedures, updating SOPs, digitizing administration, and strengthening the performance reporting system. Theoretically, this research strengthens policy implementation theory and public organizational performance theory, which emphasize the importance of policy communication, human resource capacity, and the effectiveness of organizational structures in improving bureaucratic performance. However, this study has limitations in scope, as it is confined to a single organizational unit and a relatively small number of respondents. Therefore, further research is suggested to expand the research object in several regional apparatus organizations in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the implementation of bureaucratic reform at the local government level.

Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is an important aspect in protecting workers from potential accidents and health problems arising from work activities, including in the administrative sector, which is often considered low-risk. However, the Human Resources (HR) Department at PT Micro Madani Institute (MMI) Solo Branch still found several potential hazards and work risks that have not been optimally identified. This study aims to apply the Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOPS) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) methods to identify and mitigate hazards and work accident risks in the HR Department's activities at PT Micro Madani Institute (MMI) Solo Branch. The research method is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach through observation and interviews. Risk analysis used the JSA and HAZOPS methods. The results of the study show that the application of the HAZOPS method in five sections of the HR Department successfully identified 53 potential hazards and risks, consisting of 12 extreme risks, 23 high risks, 15 moderate risks, and 3 low risks with the Employee Training and Development section as the section with the largest number of risks. Meanwhile, the application of the JSA method also identified 53 potential hazards and risks from 19 work activities. The dominant risks stem from non-ergonomic work postures, prolonged sitting, intensive computer use, and high workloads. This study concludes that the JSA and HAZOPS methods are effective in identifying potential occupational hazards and risks and can serve as the basis for control efforts to minimize workplace accidents and improve OHS implementation in the HR Department.

The increase in the number of elderly residents demands the provision of residential facilities that not only meet physical needs, but also support the psychological and social well-being of their users. This study aims to formulate the concept of behavioral architecture-based nursing home design by focusing on the relationship between elderly activity patterns, privacy levels, and spatial relationships of space in the local context of Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach in the framework of architectural design, with data collection through observation of elderly activities, site analysis, and documentation studies. Activity data was analyzed to identify space needs and usage patterns, then synthesized with site characteristics to formulate the concepts of zoning, circulation, and behavior-based spatial relationships. The results of the study show that the activities of the elderly form a layered behavioral structure, including residential and health activities as primary needs as well as social, productive, and educational activities as support for psychosocial welfare. Hierarchically arranged space zoning based on privacy levels has been proven to improve the readability of the space, sense of security, and comfort of the elderly. The integration of green open spaces as part of the activity system also strengthens support for light physical activity and social interaction. This study confirms that the application of behavioral architecture allows the translation of data on elderly behavior and site conditions into a contextual, humanist, and quality-of-life-oriented design concept. These findings provide practical implications for designers and policymakers in the development of sustainable elderly housing.

This study aims to explore employees’ work experiences related to work-life balance and compensation in shaping employee performance at CV. Sepanjang Masa (Masa Kreatif), a social media agency located in Makassar. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical field design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and documentation involving 11 informants from both management and creative teams. Data analysis followed processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that employees’ work-life balance experiences are dynamic and heterogeneous. Work flexibility provides opportunities for personal time management; however, rapid response demands and intensive content production blur the boundaries between work and personal life. A supportive, communicative, and collaborative work environment acts as a protective factor that mitigates work pressure and fosters creativity. Compensation is perceived not only as financial remuneration but also as a symbol of recognition, professional development opportunities, and organizational appreciation, although gaps remain between employee expectations and organizational capacity. Integratively, work-life balance, work environment, and compensation constitute interconnected work experiences influencing employee engagement and performance within the digital creative industry.

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is a global health problem that significantly contributes to high morbidity and mortality rates. The goal of this activity is to educate residents about preventing ARI, so that they have a good understanding of the disease and are able to take preventive measures independently. The program included information on ARI, simple inhalation therapy, and proper waste disposal. Prior to the health promotion on ARI prevention, 70% of residents had poor knowledge about the disease. After the activity, there was a significant increase in knowledge, with 90% of residents demonstrating a good level of understanding. This improvement indicates a positive shift in public awareness regarding ARI prevention. The activity successfully emphasized the importance of prevention efforts for ARI, focusing on promoting Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS). Educating the community about ARI prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of the disease. Regular health promotion activities, particularly those targeting community participation and practical steps for prevention, are vital for enhancing public health and preventing ARI, which remains a major cause of illness and death worldwide. The results highlight the effectiveness of health education in raising awareness and improving knowledge on preventing ARI.

This study investigated the logical function of clause complexes in two selected English nursery tales, Jack the Giant Killer and Jack and the Beanstalk, using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework. The research focuses on the realization of clause interpendency through the taxis system (parataxis, hypotaxis, and taxis combination) and logico-semantic relations (elaboration, extension, enhancement, idea and locution). The method employed is qualitative content analysis based on Krippendorf involving processes such as unitizing, sampling, coding, reducing, interpreting, and narrating. From 1,048 clauses analyzed, 341 wereidentified as clause complexes. The findings show that enhancement is the most dominant logico-semantic relation (164 cases), followed by extension (123 cases), elaboration (100 cases), locution (57 cases), andidea (22 cases). The findings show that paratxis is the most dominant taxis in selected English nursery tales. While hypotaxis relations mostly realized in enhancement, while extension appeared dominantly in parataxis. These results reveal that although nursery tales are intended for children, they often employ complex grammatical structure, therefore, balancing narrative engagement and linguistic accessibility is crucial to support children’s language development and reading comprehension.

Long fishing is an environmentally friendly traditional fishing tool that is commonly used by fishermen to catch fish passively using bait, both in sandy waters and in coral reef areas. Grouper fish (Epinephelus sp.) tend to inhabit waters of a certain depth, especially in areas of coral fractures and dead corals that serve as shelter and foraging. Determining the right depth setting in the operation of a fishing rod is essential to optimize the catch. This study aims to determine the effect of the difference in setting depth on grouper fish catch in the waters of Pengambengan Beach and determine the most effective depth. The study used an experimental method with three depth treatments, namely 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m, each repeated nine times. Data analysis was carried out by Group Random Design (RAK) and ANOVA test. The results showed that a depth of 10 m produced the highest catch with a total of 35 fish (average 3.89 fish/trip), followed by a depth of 15 m with 10 fish (average 1.11 fish/trip), and a depth of 20 m with 7 fish (average 0.78 fish/trip). Statistically, the difference in depth has a real influence on the number of grouper catches. A depth of 10 m is recommended as the optimal setting for the operation of long fishing rods in the waters of Pengambengan Beach.

This research investigates transparency and accountability in the management of state-owned assets (BMN) at the East Java Regional Police's Logistics Bureau as a step toward enhancing effective, adaptive, and integrity-focused governance in police logistics. The research context arises from the growing public call for transparency and accountability in managing state assets, in line with policies for bureaucratic reform and digitalization in the police logistics framework. This study utilized a qualitative descriptive approach involving in-depth interviews, observations in the field, and analysis of documents. The results show that adopting a unified digital system has enhanced the efficiency of asset management, sped up inventory operations, and reduced the risks of asset misuse. Nonetheless, obstacles persist, such as restricted human resource capacity, data alignment problems, and inadequate performance-based assessments. The conversation emphasizes that effective asset management relies on the implementation of adaptive governance, motivation for public service, and precise performance assessment systems. The research indicates that the integration of digital innovation, professional skills, and a robust commitment to public accountability is crucial for creating transparent and sustainable governance in police logistics

The transition toward sustainable energy systems requires the transformation of renewable energy marketing strategies, particularly for waste-based energy. This study aims to analyze the effects of green marketing, stakeholder collaboration, and technological innovation on the marketing effectiveness of waste-based energy, with customer satisfaction as an intervening variable.

This study contributes to the theoretical development of renewable energy marketing models and provides practical implications for policymaking and green energy marketing strategies in Indonesia.

This research examines the innovation of community empowerment rooted in local wisdom for environmental management and green economy advancement in Ketegan Village, Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency. The study stems from the increasing environmental issues resulting from urban development and the limited public understanding of sustainable economic measures. The research examines how local values—like cooperative efforts and social responsibility—can be incorporated into innovative, economically effective environmental management frameworks. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data collection involved in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and the documentation of environmental policies and socio-economic information. The results indicate that residents of Ketegan have effectively created an empowerment model that integrates tradition and innovation via waste bank management, the use of organic waste for compost and biogas, and community-driven green economy projects engaging women and youth. Cooperation between the government, community, and universities has been essential in maintaining these initiatives. However, institutional capability, online marketing, and program viability continue to pose considerable obstacles. The research suggests enhancing community potential by providing training in green entrepreneurship, facilitating digital transformation, and incorporating local wisdom principles into sustainable development strategies. The results confirm that innovation rooted in local wisdom can effectively create resilient, competitive, and environmentally aware communities.

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Counselors as street-level bureaucrats in implementing Islamic Community Guidance policies in Batang Regency. The study used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, beginning with the collection and analysis of quantitative data and then deepening with qualitative data. Quantitative data were obtained from 53 respondents using a questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability. In contrast, qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with religious counselors, Ministry of Religious Affairs officials, the KUA (Office of Religious Affairs), and the community. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically using Michael Lipsky's street-level bureaucracy theory as an analytical framework. The study's results indicate that the role of Islamic Religious Extension Workers as street-level bureaucrats is positively and strongly associated with the successful implementation of the Islamic Community Guidance policy (r = 0.826; p < 0.01). Qualitative findings revealed that extension workers exercise discretion in the form of community assistance, adjustments to extension methods, strategic flexibility, and responsiveness to socio-religious issues at the local level. This study confirms that the effectiveness of Islamic Community Guidance policies is not determined solely by formal policy design but is highly dependent on the capacity, flexibility, and discretion of Islamic Religious Counselors, the implementing actors at the field level. These findings provide theoretical contributions to the development of street-level bureaucracy studies in the context of religious policy, as well as practical implications for formulating more contextual and responsive policies.

The rapid development of social media, particularly TikTok, has transformed digital marketing strategies by emphasizing influencer endorsement and content marketing to reach Generation Z consumers. This generation is characterized by high social media usage and strong responsiveness to visual content and influencer recommendations. This study aims to analyze the effect of influencer endorsement and content marketing on the purchase intention of Generation Z TikTok users toward Antarestar products in Makassar City, both partially and simultaneously. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative research method. The population consisted of Antarestar consumers residing in Makassar City, and the sample was determined using purposive sampling. A total of 140 respondents who met the research criteria were involved in this study. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics software. The results of this study indicate that (1) influencer endorsement has a positive and significant effect on the purchase intention of Generation Z TikTok users toward Antarestar products, (2) content marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, and (3) influencer endorsement and content marketing simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the purchase intention of Generation Z TikTok users toward Antarestar products in Makassar City.

Therefore, optimizing influencer endorsement and content marketing strategies is essential to enhance purchase intention among Generation Z consumers.

This study examines the implementation of Papua Special Autonomy in the context of the relocation policy affecting indigenous betel nut vendor women in Sorong City, using an interpretative perspective. The research focuses on how betel nut women vendors understand and experience the relocation policy as indigenous actors directly affected by public policy. The objective of this study is to explore the meanings, experiences, and interpretations constructed by these women in relation to relocation policies under the framework of Papua Special Autonomy.  This research employs a qualitative method with an interpretative approach, utilising in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the relocation policy has not fully reflected the core principles of Special Autonomy, particularly in protecting, empowering, and recognising the rights of indigenous Papuans. The women vendors interpret relocation not merely as an urban spatial arrangement, but as a restriction on their economic space and socio-cultural identity.  This study contributes theoretically by enriching the discourse on Special Autonomy from the perspective of local actors, and practically by offering policy recommendations for more inclusive, participatory, and culturally sensitive relocation policies in Papua.

Bullying is a psychosocial hazard that can occur in the school environment and may negatively affect students’ mental health, social interactions, and learning processes. Bullying can take various forms, including physical, verbal, and psychological actions that occur repeatedly and cause victims to experience emotional distress, decreased learning motivation, and feelings of insecurity at school. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to increase high school students’ knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of bullying and its prevention through the principles of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). The methods used in this activity included delivering educational materials through lectures, conducting question-and-answer sessions to assess students’ initial understanding, and facilitating interactive discussions to encourage active participation. Monitoring and evaluation were also conducted to assess the effectiveness of the activity. The results of the program indicated a significant improvement in students’ understanding and awareness of the forms, impacts, and prevention strategies related to bullying in the school environment. Students also demonstrated a more critical attitude toward bullying behavior and a greater awareness of the importance of creating a safe, healthy, and respectful school environment. The application of an OSH-based approach in bullying prevention is expected to strengthen the safety culture in schools and support the development of a conducive learning environment for all students.

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is essential for infant growth and immunity during the first six months of life. Despite its benefits, many primiparous mothers face challenges in maintaining EBF due to lack of experience, stress, and insufficient support. Husband support has been identified as a crucial social factor that can influence a mother’s confidence and success in breastfeeding. This study aimed to examine the relationship between husband support and the success of exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous mothers in the Kalibaru Public Health Center area. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed, with 90 primiparous mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring husband support, including emotional, informational, and instrumental dimensions, and exclusive breastfeeding practice, following the World Health Organization (WHO) definition. Descriptive statistics summarized participants’ demographic characteristics and levels of support, while inferential analysis using the Chi-square test and Pearson correlation determined the association between husband support and EBF success. The results indicated that higher levels of husband support were significantly associated with successful exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous mothers (p < 0.05). Among the types of support, emotional and informational support were particularly influential in enhancing maternal confidence and overcoming breastfeeding challenges. These findings suggest that encouraging husband involvement through prenatal education, counseling, and family-based interventions can improve EBF rates. In conclusion, husband support plays a vital role in the successful practice of exclusive breastfeeding among first-time mothers. Health programs should actively involve fathers to provide emotional, informational, and practical support, thereby promoting optimal breastfeeding outcomes and infant health in the community.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) in improving students' cognitive abilities based on nutritional status in Brangsong Village, Indonesia. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative designs. Quantitative data were collected from 30 student beneficiaries via questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with managers of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG), school authorities, students, and parents, and analyzed thematically. The results show a positive and significant relationship between nutritional status and academic achievement, but no significant relationship with students' cognitive ability. Nutrient intake, however, was positively and significantly associated with both cognitive ability and academic achievement. The strongest relationship was observed between cognitive ability and academic achievement. These findings suggest that the MBG program effectively supports academic achievement by improving nutrient intake and cognitive ability. However, its impact on students’ nutritional status has not been uniformly distributed.
