This research aims to analyze the character values of the Punakawan wayang which then becomes a consideration for its use as a learning medium in Javanese language subjects in elementary schools. This research uses qualitative methods which are then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of the discussion from this research are that the use of stories from the Punakawan wayang as a learning medium will have a positive impact if the teacher can highlight the good character values of the wayang which can be emulated by students, and vice versa

This study aims to analyze the development strategy of shoe washing and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in facing increasingly tight competition. Shoe washing SMEs, as one of the business sectors with great potential, often face serious challenges, such as limited capital, low use of technology, and inconsistent service quality. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on several urban laundry SMEs, which are analyzed using the Swot theoretical framework and Porter's Five Forces model. The results of the study show that laundry SMEs have strengths in competitive prices, proximity to customers, and strategic locations. However, the main weakness found is the lack of utilization of technology and innovation in services, which hinders business competitiveness. Existing opportunities, such as increasing awareness of sustainability-based services and digitalization, provide space for business development. The threat of competition with laundry franchises and changes in customer preferences that are increasingly moving towards fast and efficient services, are serious challenges for SMEs. Based on the results of the analysis, the recommended development strategies include the use of digital technology for management and marketing, improving service quality, innovation in types of services, and product diversification to attract new customers.

Digital bureaucratic transformation has become a crucial component of public administration reform in Indonesia through the utilization of technology to enhance public services. This study examines the implementation of the M-Paspor application as one of the strategic policy innovations in the immigration sector. The application was developed as a solution to problems found in the conventional service system. M-Paspor simplifies the passport application procedures, increases bureaucratic effectiveness and efficiency, and strengthens accountability in public service delivery. The presence of M-Paspor has brought significant changes to the structure and work system within the Directorate General of Immigration. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, including unequal digital access, limited infrastructure, low digital literacy among civil servants, and resistance to changes in bureaucratic work culture. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, with sources selected using search strings tailored to the research objectives. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for further discussions regarding the benefits, challenges, and sustainability of M-Paspor in supporting the broader digitalization of public service programs in Indonesia.

The rice straw waste is a byproduct of rice processing and is a plentiful natural resource in Indonesia. It has been utilized as a renewable energy source to decrease reliance on fossil fuels and tackle worldwide energy concerns. Rice straw waste contains various organic compounds, such as 36.6% cellulose, 25.3% hemicellulose, and 14.3% lignin. These compounds can be converted into various types of bioenergy, such as bioethanol, biogas, biomass, and bioelectricity through fermentation and pyrolysis processes. Rice straw waste has significant potential as a raw material in bioethanol production, biogas and bio-oil. rice straw waste also has the potential to produce bio-oil through the pyrolysis process. Tiny organisms, like bacteria and fungi, have a crucial part in the creation of bioethanol, biogas, and bio-oil. These microscopic organisms will be used in the process of fermentation, decomposition, or other biochemical reactions to convert rice straw waste into the desired renewable energy source. In the production of bioethanol, the use of enzymes such as amylase or cellulase may be required to break down the raw materials into simpler components that can be converted through the fermentation process into bioethanol. The process of producing biogas involves utilizing an anaerobic digester, which is a controlled environment devoid of oxygen. In this environment, microorganisms decompose the organic material found in rice straw waste and generate biogas. The methods used in the production of bioenergy (bioethanol, biogas and bio-oil) from straw waste may vary depending on the context and available technology.

This study focuses on the involvement of the Church in interpreting pluralism in Indonesia. This article describes the efforts of the Catholic Church in addressing diversity in Indonesia through two different but complementary research approaches: quantitative method using questionnaires and qualitative method involving literature review. The quantitative approach involves data collection through questionnaires distributed to various members of the Catholic Church. The numerical data generated from the questionnaires are then statistically analyzed to identify patterns, preferences, and common views related to the synodality and diakonia of the Church. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach involves in-depth analysis through literature study, encompassing an understanding of the concepts of synodality and diakonia of the Church, as well as a review of literature relevant to the Indonesian context. This article aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the role of the Catholic Church in addressing differences and promoting unity in the multicultural context of Indonesia. Thus, this article is expected to make a valuable contribution to the understanding and discussion of the challenges and potential of the synodality and diakonia of the Church in unifying diversity in Indonesia.

This research aims to examine the legal limitations in the application of excessive self-defense (noodweerexces) and its implications for criminal liability in the Indonesian criminal law system. The urgency of this study stems from inconsistencies in judicial practice regarding the interpretation of reasonable limits in self-defense cases, creating legal uncertainty and potential injustice. This research employs a normative juridical method examining legal regulations, theories, principles, and court decisions related to justification and pardon in Indonesian criminal law. The findings indicate that the application of excessive self-defense requires particular attention to avoid violating fundamental principles of justice, with both objective and subjective evaluations necessary to ensure fair law enforcement. The study reveals that variations in judicial decisions necessitate clearer guidelines to ensure legal certainty, while psychological factors of perpetrators significantly influence considerations in noodweerexces assessments. This research contributes new insights by specifically integrating the analysis of objective legal standards with subjective psychological states in criminal liability determination, filling the gap left by previous studies that examined these aspects separately. The study recommends the development of standardized judicial guidelines through Supreme Court circular letters (SEMA) and mandatory training for judges on psychological assessment in self-defense cases, as well as the incorporation of forensic psychology experts in the judicial process for noodweerexces cases.
