Teachers also face difficulties in aligning project-based learning with existing curriculum structures, affecting the continuity of lessons. To overcome these challenges, several strategies need to be adopted, such as redesigning flexible schedules to allow more time for project-based activities, developing practical and relevant project modules, and fostering collaboration among educators to improve teaching practices. By addressing these issues, the Merdeka Curriculum can be effectively implemented, ensuring that students in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering departments acquire industry-relevant skills. This study aims to provide insights and recommendations for optimizing curriculum implementation

The death penalty remains one of the most contentious policies in addressing narcotics crimes in Indonesia. While implemented as a stringent measure to combat drug trafficking, the policy often sparks debates regarding its effectiveness and implications for human rights. This study aims to analyze public perceptions of the death penalty policy for narcotics-related offenses, focusing on how demographic factors such as age, education, and residence influence public support. Using a quantitative approach, this research employed a nationwide survey involving 1,500 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection combined online and offline methods to ensure broad representation. The findings reveal significant demographic variations in support for the death penalty. Younger and middle-aged respondents (25–40 years old) showed the highest levels of support (70%), particularly in urban areas (70%) compared to rural areas (55%). Educational attainment also influenced perspectives, with higher education levels correlating with increased support for the policy. The study concludes that public perceptions of the death penalty are shaped significantly by demographic and socio-cultural factors. These findings underscore the need for targeted communication strategies to address varying public concerns, particularly in rural areas where access to information may be limited. The research contributes to policy discussions by providing empirical insights into public opinion on this controversial issue. It recommends integrating public education campaigns and alternative rehabilitative measures to enhance public understanding and acceptance of narcotics policies. By grounding policy development in evidence-based research, this study aims to support more equitable and effective approaches to addressing drug-related crimes in Indonesia

The digital era has significantly increased the complexity of cross-border crimes, particularly cybercrime, which poses substantial challenges for countries, including Indonesia. With a reported rise in cross-border cybercrime incidents of over 50% in the last five years, Indonesia faces critical legal and technical hurdles in combating such threats. This study explores the rights and obligations of states in addressing cross-border cybercrime, focusing on comparing Indonesia's legal framework with international standards, specifically the Budapest Convention. Employing a normative analytical method, this research examines international and national legal documents to identify gaps and evaluate the alignment of Indonesia's cybercrime regulations with global standards. Key findings reveal that Indonesia's cybercrime policies lack mandatory international cooperation mechanisms and are limited to national jurisdiction, which restricts the country’s ability to effectively address cybercrimes involving foreign perpetrators. In contrast, the Budapest Convention emphasizes structured international collaboration, robust privacy protections, and flexible jurisdictional arrangements, providing a comprehensive framework for managing transnational cyber threats. The study concludes that harmonizing Indonesia’s regulations with international standards, such as the Budapest Convention, is essential for improving the nation's capacity to combat cross-border cybercrime. Recommendations include enhancing legal frameworks to mandate international cooperation, establishing specialized units within law enforcement agencies equipped with advanced digital forensic tools, and strengthening privacy protections to align with global norms. This research contributes to the discourse on international cybercrime management by offering practical strategies to bridge regulatory gaps and bolster Indonesia’s position in global cybersecurity collaborations. The findings underscore the urgency for policy reform to address the evolving challenges of digital threats in an interconnected world.

Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breast. It is the most common cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Breast cancer is usually divided into two types: benign, or usually called benign and malignant, or usually called malignant. Benign cancers are usually characterized by small, round, tender lumps. In the fields of medicine, finance, marketing, and social science, data mining is a popular tool for performing proven analysis. This study will compare K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes, and Decision Tree C4.5 approaches for classifying breast cancer. The problem of this research is which algorithm has a high level of accuracy that can be used with breast cancer datasets and can provide information about patterns or models for early detection of breast cancer. The results of the research conducted using CRISP-DM show that K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) has the highest accuracy value with 97.14% and its AUC value is 0.976. The AUC value also showed excellent classification, with an AUC value between 0.90 and 1.00.

Purpose of the Study :This study aims to explore the challenges of multiculturalism in Indonesia within the context of citizenship and the recognition of local cultures. It focuses on how cultural diversity can be managed to form an inclusive national identity and address issues such as marginalization, homogenization, and ethnic conflicts. Methodology : The research employs a literature review and qualitative analysis of primary and secondary sources. Data was gathered through a review of existing literature, interviews with community leaders, and observation of public policies related to multiculturalism in Indonesia. Findings : The study reveals that marginalization of local cultures and homogenization due to globalization are major challenges. Conflicts between ethnic groups have also increased due to tensions related to cultural and economic differences. Current public policies do not fully reflect the country's cultural diversity. Conclusion : To address these challenges, it is necessary to strengthen multicultural education, preserve local cultures, and foster intercultural dialogue. Effective management of globalization's impact is also crucial to maintaining cultural diversity. With these measures, Indonesia can build an inclusive and harmonious national identity while reinforcing social cohesion.

Citizenship and education policies in Indonesia play a crucial role in determining children's rights and access to quality education. However, challenges arise when addressing children with unclear citizenship status, such as those born to parents without permanent citizenship or those caught in ambiguous legal situations. This abstract examines how the uncertainty of citizenship status affects the access to and quality of education for these children in Indonesia. The study highlights major issues faced, including limited access to formal schooling, lack of adequate official documentation, and legal instability that restricts educational rights. Additionally, it explores existing government policies and the challenges in implementing them concerning the protection of educational rights for children with unclear citizenship status. The findings reveal the need for more inclusive policy reforms and effective strategies to ensure that all children, regardless of citizenship status, can enjoy their right to quality education. The study suggests a more holistic, human rights-based approach to addressing these issues and advocates for enhanced collaboration between government agencies, civil society, and international organizations to develop sustainable solutions.

Sedangkan pada pebandingan kedua kinerja processor cenderung stabil, hal ini dikarenakan pengujian perbandingan app sama-sama memainkan musik. Kemudian perbadingan ketiga processor hanya dibebankan intruksi untuk load data 1 track musik, sedangkan pembandingnya ditambakan load data musik dan effect. rata kinerja processor cenderung turun, hal ini dikarenakan saat app memainkan effect tidak menggunakan processor, namun app akan melakukan load code ke dalam memory.

Sarcasm is a form of verbal bullying that often occurs unconsciously by the speaker. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of sarcasm-based verbal bullying in the school environment, focusing on degrading speech acts directed at junior high school (SMP) students in Surakarta, Indonesia. Through interviews with students who have been victims of sarcasm, this research analyzes the forms and impacts of sarcastic remarks they have experienced. The findings reveal that sarcasm is frequently used as a form of mockery or insult aimed at highlighting the victim’s shortcomings, whether in academic, physical, or social aspects. Each sarcastic utterance is analyzed using the theories of locution, illocution, and perlocution, showing that while the utterance may appear as a compliment on a literal level, it contextually demeans the victim. The perlocutionary effect includes feelings of shame, inferiority, and loss of self-confidence in the victim. These findings indicate that sarcasm as verbal bullying has the potential to damage students’ mental health and disrupt their social relationships. This study emphasizes the need for a school environment that supports positive communication, free from speech acts that have the potential to demean others.
