The establishment of a waste bank program in Sabatan Hamlet, Ringinanom Village, Magelang Regency, is one of the solutions to address the increasing household waste problem. This program was carried out through the Community Service Program (KKN) of Tidar University from January to February 2025, with the aim of raising public awareness about the importance of environmentally friendly waste management. This research used a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques including open interviews, field surveys, and focus group discussions (FGD). The program implementation was conducted in four main stages: preparation, socialization, execution, and assistance. During the execution phase, the "UD Sregep" waste bank was successfully established, focusing on the management of paper, plastic bottles, and cans. Additionally, the program successfully integrated inorganic waste management with Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation for organic waste, creating a sustainable waste management system that holds economic value for the community. The program received positive support from various stakeholders, including the community, village government, and other parties, demonstrating its success in improving the welfare of the community through waste utilization.

Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh motivasi belajar dan ekspektasi karir (variabel independen) terhadap intensi melanjutkan studi lanjut (variabel dependen), dengan status sosial ekonomi orang tua sebagai variabel moderasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, populasi penelitian terdiri dari 381 mahasiswa pendidikan ekonomi angkatan 2020 di Universitas Negeri Semarang, dengan 160 responden dipilih melalui Proportionate Random Sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif dan Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) dengan SmartPLS 3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model valid dan reliabilitas konstruk layak. Motivasi belajar berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap intensi melanjutkan studi lanjut, sementara ekspektasi karir memberikan pengaruh positif paling tinggi sebesar 70,9%. Status sosial ekonomi orang tua tidak berpengaruh terhadap intensi studi lanjut (19,9%), dan moderasi ekspektasi karir meningkatkan pengaruh menjadi 36,9%. Sebaliknya, moderasi motivasi belajar menghasilkan nilai negatif (-17%) dan tidak signifikan. Dari lima hipotesis, tiga diterima dan dua ditolak

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in Indonesia's economic growth. However, many MSME players in Sabatan Hamlet, Ringinanom Village, Magelang Regency, do not have business legality, strong branding, and effective digital marketing strategies.

This study aims to determine the composition and structure of vegetation and estimate the potential for carbon dioxide absorption in the Tangale Nature Reserve Area, Gorontalo Regency. The method used in this study is the determination of sampling locations carried out by purposive sampling, making multilevel plots, analyzing vegetation structure, and estimating tree biomass is done non-destructively based on measuring the height and diameter of trees at breast height (DBH), while for lower plants it is done destructively and litter is taken all in the plot area to be weighed wet and dry weight and then estimating biomass, C reserves, and CO2 uptake. The results showed that the vegetation composition consisted of 18 species dominated by the Magnoliopsida class. The highest Important Value Index is found at each observation station. Calculation of biomass value, C reserves, and CO2 uptake at each observation station showed varying results because they were influenced by vegetation type, vegetation density, vegetation composition and structure, and environmental factors. The total value of CO2 uptake by vegetation in the Tangale Nature Reserve Area is 5,304.393 tons of CO2/ha. This research provides a better understanding of carbon sequestration potential in conservation areas to support environmental conservation and climate change mitigation efforts.
 

The GKSI Nazareth SP 5 congregation, which consists of various ages and social backgrounds, faces challenges in understanding and applying the true meaning of worship. Many congregations do not fully understand the essence of worship as a form of direct communication with God, but only carry it out as a routine ritual. With the increasing influence of technology and social media, priority for spiritual activities such as worship tends to decrease. The method used is qualitative by observing the phenomena that occur and continuing with data collection by taking notes, then conducting a literature search, journals, books and the Bible to support the research. Novelty lies in the church's approach to taking concrete steps to guide the congregation to understand the teachings of God's Word regarding worship. The findings show positive changes in the GKSI Nazareth SP 5 Congregation, explanations of guidance from God's Word and also explanations of the meaning of worship that the GKSI Nazareth SP 5 Congregation can apply in their lives. This positive change can be seen in the fact that they are willing to give up their time to come to worship together on Sundays and also to worship at home.

The rapid growth of digital transactions in Indonesia has significantly transformed consumer behavior and the economic landscape. Despite this progress, various challenges, particularly in consumer protection, remain unresolved. Current regulations, including the Consumer Protection Law (UUPK) and the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), provide a foundational legal framework, yet their implementation has been inconsistent and often ineffective. This research aims to evaluate the policies governing consumer protection in digital transactions and identify strategies for improvement. A qualitative approach, utilizing SWOT analysis, was employed to examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within the existing framework. Data were gathered from in-depth interviews with stakeholders and analysis of relevant legal and policy documents. The findings reveal significant gaps in consumer literacy, ineffective dispute resolution mechanisms, and insufficient adoption of advanced technologies like blockchain. However, the rapid growth of the digital economy and initiatives such as "Indonesia Digital 2025" present substantial opportunities for strengthening consumer protection. Cybersecurity risks and reliance on foreign platforms remain critical threats that necessitate immediate attention. This study contributes by providing actionable recommendations for policymakers, including harmonizing regulations, enhancing digital literacy programs, and promoting local technological innovation. The findings also highlight the importance of collaboration between government, industry stakeholders, and international organizations to create a robust and inclusive digital ecosystem. These insights offer valuable guidance for future policy reforms and practical implementations in the context of Indonesia’s digital economy.
