This study focuses on gender language patterns within sociolinguistic, analyzing the women and men language features used by the two main characters in “The Idea of You” movie by Robinne Lee. The aim is to identify and describe the women and men language features reflected in the dialogues from two main characters. A descriptive qualitative method was conducted to analyze the data, which was sourced from the interactions between the two characters. The observation method was utilized to collect the data, and two theories were applied: Lakoff (1975) to identify women language features whereas to identify the men language features proposed from Coates’s theory (2004). The findings revealed nine out of ten features were present by the two main characters, with the exception of precise color terms. All five features of men language features were also identified. Mostly, intensifier is the most frequently used women language features, reflecting how the main characters communicate more expressively. In contrast, command and directives were the dominant men language features that employed by the two main characters, revealing their tendency to assert control and direct actions in their interactions.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) arise from prolonged minor and major repetitive impacts, causing pain in muscles, bones, and joints. Hatha yoga, as a complementary therapy, has the potential to alleviate joint pain.

Using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test method, the study involved 30 purposively selected participants. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. Participants underwent 12 hatha yoga sessions over four weeks. The findings indicated a significant reduction in musculoskeletal complaints after the intervention.

Problem behavior in adolescents (12-17 years) has become a serious concern in the social environment. The parenting style applied by parents can play an important role in shaping this behavior. This study investigates the effect of various parenting styles on problem behavior in adolescent children. The research sample consisted of 100 parents in Bandung with children aged 12-17 with problem behavior. The sample was selected through stratified random sampling techniques to ensure good representation. Data was collected through a questionnaire that measures children's parenting styles and problem behavior. Data analysis involved regression analysis and quantitative correlation. The regression analysis showed that each parenting style contributes differently to problematic behavior. Permissive parenting style showed a significant effect (p < 0.001), followed by authoritarian parenting styles (p < 0.001) and authoritative (p = 0.022). However, uninvolved parenting style had the most significant impact (p < 0.001). Quantitative correlation also indicated a strong relationship between permissive and uninvolved parenting styles and problematic behavior (r = 0.677 and r = 0.994). Parenting styles have different influences on problematic behavior in adolescent children. These findings provide a deeper understanding of how each parenting style plays an important role in forming problem behaviors in children. This study makes a new contribution to understanding the relationship between parenting style and problem behavior in adolescent children by highlighting the role of quantitative and statistical analysis in uncovering this relationship.

Bali Province is a world-renowned tourism destination that significantly contributes to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of the region. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a severe economic downturn, causing negative economic growth. This study aims to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of tourist visits, local revenue (PAD), and investment on the GRDP of Bali Province. The research utilizes secondary data from nine regencies/cities in Bali over a six-year period (2018–2023). Data analysis is conducted using panel data regression with the Eviews 12 software. The results indicate that tourist visits, PAD, and investment collectively influence the GRDP of Bali Province. Partially, tourist visits and PAD have a positive and significant impact on GRDP, while investment has a negative but insignificant effect. The findings suggest that optimizing tourism potential, improving infrastructure, maximizing the potential of each region to increase local revenue, and exploring investment opportunities beyond the tourism sector—while supporting both domestic and foreign investment are essential to boosting Bali’s GRDP.

An important aspect that needs attention to support success in the learning process is the teacher's competency. One of the key competencies required by teachers is mastery of technology, which supports the development of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge)-based learning. Additionally, mastery of technology can help develop learning media and serve as a learning aid. One of the software that can be used as an option for learning media is Octave. Octave is open-source software, allowing teachers to access it for free. It can be used as a medium/teaching tool to explain various mathematical concepts, such as functions, function limits, derivatives, integrals, and more. This training was attended by high school teachers and took place at Al Bayan Superior High School, Sukabumi Regency. During the training, participants were taught how to use Octave in mathematics instruction to enhance teacher competency. The results of the training show that the use of Octave can support learning in schools by boosting teacher competency and inspiring teachers to become more professional. This, in turn, leads to improved learning quality in schools, which ultimately enhances the overall quality of education.
